Re: Taskbar and Start Menu option wont appear

have you tried to do a system restore?
e.g. in winxp: start menu/programs/accessories/system tools/system restore
this will get your desktop back the way it was when the last restore was created (more than likely
within the last few days)
cheers,
Paul

ps. you can always undo a system restore if you don't like the outcome

I let my little brother on the computer, came back the next day, and the
taskbar at the bottom was missing completely, not just minimized and scooched
down to the bottom. It's gone. I figured a nice trip to the Taskbar and
Start Menu would do the trick, but it wont appear. I've tried creating
shortcuts, typing in the actual location myself, and clicking a thousand
times, (as well as a few good reboots because I cant just log off). What do
I do? I want my taskbar back, but I also want all my menus to appear when I
beckon.
