    I don't know why but my task bar has dissappeared.

    I have tried this step:

    Press the windows button so start comes up, then right click and select properties. Then click the taskbar tab and make sure ''auto-hide the taskbar'' is unchecked.

    But it didnt work

    Thanks for any help


    EDIT: The taskbar has only dissappeared in one account in my computer (i have 2 user accounts both are administrators)

    * Move the mouse to the bottom of the screen until the mouse cursor looks like you're about to resize something.
    * Stretch the Taskbar up, so that it is visible.
    * Note: this is the most commonly asked question by new users of Windows 98.
    * To do this with the keyboard, type Ctrl-ESC, Alt-Space, S, and then use the Up Arrow to resize the taskbar.

    Bahirzaheri8, I've read about your internet problem. And linking it with this, I can assume that your computer might be infected by adware or malware. I suggest you run a thorough scan through your computer.

    On a side note, to stretch the taskbar right back up, you just move your mouse cursor to the most bottom edge of the screen until you see the resize arrow, you do not need to use the keyboard. But if I'm reading correctly, you already tried this, and it is not working.

    I had that problem too once. There was no ad-ware and I couldn't resize it. The problem was solved just by deleting a registry key. I forgot which one though. BTW, does pressing the start button on your keyboard open the start menu?
