My taskbar has dissapeared

[Guest]

I am not sure who did it or how it happened, but I cannot find my taskbar. I
went to the control panel and when I click the icon the application starts
but never comes up. How do I get my taskbar back?

Move your pointer to the very bottom of the screen, Right click and hold it
and drag the taskbar back up.

I tried that, but all I get is the marquee outline. I have done that before
and got an "I" shaped cursor when I accidentally resized it. This thing is
gone! The taskbar setting box from the control panel appears as an open
application while nothing appears on the screen to change settings.

Try hitting Ctrl and Escape keys.

Already tried that, nothing???

Try hitting Ctrl and Escape keys.

Try increasing your desktop resolution just to see if it is there. If you
are at 1024 x 768 set it to 1280 x 1024 temporarily.

If nothing else, restart in Safe Mode and see if you can make appropriate
changes.
