Thanks! I was wondering how I was going to turn off the computer if I didn't have that bit! Blasted cat - it happened when she walked across my keypad.

Thanks! Now I finally know how to find my way around this problem. Running 'explorer' through the task manager really worked.

Thank you very much for this assistance. I, by mistake, closed the task bar while tinkering with task master and couldn't get it back for a half-hour.

MONTHS of this little issue of the disappearing task bar. In 30 seconds on your site I learn the fix and all is good. Thank you, Leo, out there somewhere... All is good.

There was a comment here that totally helped me since the methods explained did not work and pressing CTRL+ESC did not help either. If you have Vista go to Personlize > Display Settings > then click the 2nd monitor > uncheck the box that says "extend the desktop onto this monitor" > press OK. This fixed my problem. Hope it helps!
