Cmd.exe is your command prompt which you can find in Start>All
Programs>Accessories. You say your Taskbar is not
working. How so?

Download Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com - this may give you some
idea which process is launching cmd.exe. You can then kill the process tree
(cmd.exe and whatever is launching it) or temporarily disable it.

Don't know why taskbar not working! Clicked on start, accessories and command
prompt, got the message that the file is in use. Thanks anyway!
