RR_Trials Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 My task bar at the bottom of my screen has disapeared. I have not done anything to get rid of it as when i turn it on it is there untill some of the icons on the bottom right load up then it just disapears. I have tryed changing some of the options under control panel>task bar and start menu.Dose anybody know what to do as it is very hard to use my computer without a task bar.Thankyou in advance, Rorz.

tomturd Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 ctrl + alt + delete, then go to file > new task, type in "explorer" (without the quotes) and press enter... hopefully it should reappear? Not the best solution but should/might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 go to the taskbar options and untick the box with 'lock the taskbar' next to it, then try the dragging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 go to the taskbar options and untick the box with 'lock the taskbar' next to it, then try the dragging.Dosn't work, its not hidden down at the bottom, because all the programs load with a space at the bottom were the task bar should be, so its tunred invisible some how.
