Start Menu/Taskbar

[Bob]

My 14-month old recently got unsupervised time on the
computer. So now we have a problem. The taskbar has
disappeared from the bottom of the screen. At first I
thought it was just hidden off the edge of the screen,
but I tried all four edges (right and left clicking off
the edge of the screen does nothing). I tried going into
the control panel to bring up the Start Menu/Taskbar
menu. But when I click on that, nothing happens. Well,
the Control Panel window becomes non-selected, but
nothing else happens. Also, when windows are reduced,
they seem to minimize to the left side of the screen.
Help, please!

Hi Bob,

Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality (Line 164)

To use the VBS Files: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double click the vbs
file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this
is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These
scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.
