The only reason this would happen are restrictions on your computer. If you are using a work, school, library, etc. computer, this will probably be the case. There is really no way to fix this, sorry! If you would like to talk to me personally, feel free to email me!\n\n-Dave, the ULTIMATE Techie

Click on it and drag it down to the bottom. Once you've done this, right-click on it and choose "Lock the Taskbar" to keep it from happening again.

I think the previous answerers have misunderstood the question. The user's problem is probably that he *cannot* access the Task Manager from the dialog that pops up when pressing Alt-Ctrl-Del.\n\nThis can happen if the Task Manager has been disabled - by some malware (most probably) or by the system administrator. See below for information how to enable it - but do be careful, because it involves editing the Registry.

Do what moonsmagicdust said.\n\nSounds like you are using windows xp. You will get the taskbar on pressing ctrl+alt+del only if you go to control panel, go to user accounts, click on "change the way users log on or off", dont choose any options in there, if selected any option unselect it.\n\nThis will help you to start using the ctrl+alt+del keys.\n\nAlternate is press right mouse button on start bar and choose "Task Manager".\n\nHope this helps.

if it is about the screen saver,\nright click (anywhere except taskbar) on your desktop -- properties -- tab screensaver -- change the drop list menu (e.g. to none) and also check for power setting (the button below the drop list menu)

Right click on the task bar to make sure it's not lock, if it's lock you can't move it.  Left click and hold, drag the task bar to where you like the start button.  Remember to lock your task bar at the end.

I think I know what you mean giggly. right click on the taskbar. uncheck the button that says, "autohide" and then click the one which says "lock the taskbar."

In windows (any version after 95): press ctrl-alt-delete (all 3 keys at the same time) NOTE: depending on the version and setup you may have to click the button labelled 'Task Manager...'\n\nIn Linux or Mac (or any other Unix based machine): from the terminal window type 'ps -e'

Get a copy of whatever version of Windows you are using and reinstall it. Make sure you format the disk to get a clean installation. Don't join the domain though (you probably couldn't anyway). This will give you your control back with one drawback. You won't have access to any network printers or drives, you wont have access to company email, and you won't get access to the internet.\n\nYou can now use the task manager all you want.\n\nHowever, if you did that at my company, you will get fired, without question.

press Ctlr+Alt+Del, this will bring up the task manager....Click the applications tab and then New Task. Type in Explorer and hit enter. this will restart the explorer which usually brings up the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. Also make sure the IDE cables are properly plugged into the CD-ROM and the Motherboard. Check CD-ROM Jumper settings too...

Why not make the taskbar hidden automatically?
