Taskbar

I have a problem with my taskbar.  It seems that all the sudden it is not working properly.  My quicklinks, clock and start button are there but the programs I have open are not there.  Sometimes they are ontop of the taskbar when they are minimized but other times I can't see them.  I use the alt->tab keys to get to them.  Help...

    I just recently acquired this same problem.  I can't find anywhere that it mentions this toolbar able to turn off, let alone back on if it is missing.  Supposedly my warranty only covers hardware, and software support is $99 a pop.  Nice try.  So I'm stuck scouring forums to find a solution.  Yours is the closest I've found to my problem.  How did you fix it!!!!

    That looks like a great sight.  I'll have to try it out; however I just got off the phone with Microsoft using up one of my 2 free service calls to have them help me resolve the issue.  It turns out that something in my log in account profile was corupted.  They had me create a new user account and helped me copy over my user settings.  So the new profile is working, but if your website can help me correct my old profile, then I won't have to waste a bunch more time reconfiguring the new profile.  Thanks!

    I downloaded the file from the website, and it fixed the problem on my currupted profile!  A few downsides however are that the fix reset my taskbar so the buttons were there but all my customizations were gone.  After I got it set up again the way I wanted and rebooted, I found that the fix appearently wasn't permanent.  Once I logged back on, the profile was having the same problems again.  I ran the file again, which again, reset my taskbar bringing back the buttons but losing all my customiztions.  Bitter-sweet I guess.  Maybe to avoid the hassle, I'll just set up the new profile once and be done with it.  Thanks for the help.
