On my Windows XP, I cant see the bar at the bottom of the screen. It is not on auto-hide. explorer.exe is running, just the bar isant showing. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Check on each side of the screen in case you accidentally dragged it to a different side - just move your mouse to the extreme edges of the screen, top, left and right sides, and it should pop out at you.

Just drag it back to the bottom when you find it.

This often occurs if you have not selected to 'Lock The Task Bar' by right clicking and selecting from the context menu - do this of course when you have found which side the Task Bar is now located.

Do a virus scan, it often helps.

You can restarting explorer.exe

Restart your computer, that usualy happens out of the blues if your computer is running slow or such.

If you restart, it'll be like new with no lag or such which should be faster. Im not too good at this problem solving, but that should do it.

Can you see your desktop and icons?

note i had the same problem when i had XP, i used this tool to fix it

TaskbarRepairToolPlus.exe

in this program do the following:





Note: if that does not work try this method

• 1. Save registry file (http://www.gtarp.exofire.net/stuff/restoretaskbar.reg)[right-click save-as]
  
• 2. Double click on the saved file. It will ask you if you want to enter this information to the registry. DO NOT CLICK OK YET. Leave it there.
• 3. Kill explorer.exe. To do it open the task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) and on the processes tab, click on explorer.exe and then click the button "end process"
  
• 4. Now that the desktop icons and the taskbar disappears, click the ok button for the registry
  
• 5. From the task manager, click menu file->new task, and enter "explorer.exe" and ok.
