Taskbar Buttons Gone

[Guest]

Hey there,
this morning when I started my computer I realized that my Taskbar Buttons
where gone. (*) I tried to get it back but I just can't find an option
anywhere that could return them.
Minimized items appear to be closed but in fact the are not since the are
still visible in the Task-Manager. The only way I can open minimized items
right now is with the Alt-Tab function or "Switch To" in the Task Manager.
I called Dell support and they told me to "Create a new User and transfer
the data", since the Taskbar is still available on the other users and the
guest account.

I hope anyone can help me.
Thanks
Nick

Sorry for bothering.
I searched through the Board again and I found the solution myself. In a
response to the same question by Knightrider51.
