Why don't running programs show in my taskbar?

thanks! my taskbar had disappeared a while ago and it was so frustrating, ah ha!

Thank you SOO much!!
My taskbar has been failing me for over a year now!
I looked for a solution when it broke down, but I couldn't fine one, and just decided to get used to my problem. If only I had found this webpage then!!

Thank heavens that worked. So easy!!

LEO, Thanx a lot! After a week of painful ALT+TABs my taskbar is back!!!! U R D king!

Leo, awesome advice. I'm stumped as to why this isn't working when it hasn't in the past. Only one program doesn't minimize to the taskbar - WordPerfect. IF I Alt-Tab it once I can minimize and recover thereafter. I downloaded and ran the tool but it didn't help. Any other ideas?

Thanks for years of great great advice!

WORKS PERFECTLY, have no idea why this happens. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your solution! It worked. My problem solved. But, it erase the Microsoft Office shortcut bar in the upper side of the screen. And I must reconfigure it in Microsoft Office Setting program.

Oh,yeah, before I forgot, for NATE who posted about Kelly's corner tweak page and encountered with "a compression problem". I have the solution. This problem occurred when your browser unable to extract some compressed sites. Mozilla Firefox and Netscape have this problem. The solution is change your browser! To Opera or Internet Explorer which both support extraction process, and reenter the site. I hope this info useful.

Man, I hate windows but still dont have the same resources in Linux and a good Mac its way too expensive for me....

Thanks God there is blogs like yours to help dummy programmer like me to fix this trash windows sys.

Thanks alot!

Thanks Leo, the fix of registry worked very well.
I am glad that I cam by your useful page.
Thanks again :)

I ran the script and it worked fine until I rebooted the computer and the taskbar goes back to the same. I re-run the script and all is well. Somehow the settings are getting changed when I reboot. What is happening?
