I have a Windows XP computer that has a messed up Start Menu/Taskbar, it will
not display correctly. I am looking for a way to force Windows to restore the
default settings for the Start Menu and Taskbar, is there a reg key to delete
or command that can be ran to accomplish this?

Hello Confused :-)

Try this fix from MVP Kelly:
Restore Taskbar and Start Menu (line 117, left side)

Instructions for using the file are at the top of the page.
