Hi,
I have a computer with winxp.,512mb ram. I am trying to navigate and the start button and the task bar will not display. I moved my mouse in between the task bar and bottom of the screen to create the double arrows to find my start button and task bar . I can't get these items to display. What can I do to have my start button and task bar to display?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

That's funny, i just posted a similar script to REMOVE the taskbar on another site, lol, but here's a script to put it back.
Save this code as RestoreTaskBar.reg

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSetTaskbar"=dword:00000000
"NoTrayItemsDisplay"=dword:00000000
"HideClock"=dword:00000000
"NoToolbarsOnTaskbar"=dword:00000000
"NoTrayContextMenu"=dword:00000000
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

This will create the directory possibly missing, as well as reset all tasbar items to be viewable.
the last one enables the settings to be saved, if you wish to test this before saving the settings, change it to 00000001.

This will require a reboot to take effect
-Hope it helps!
