Hi,\nFor the most part, if you <right-click> on the task bar.  You should see the option for Task Manager to start up.\nGood luck.

Get a windows2000/xp cd. Boot off that and goto the recovery console and that will ask you password you can put & then you can access the WindowsXP "secure" areas .\n\nif you need more help, you can contact me.

It depends on the Operating System you are using...\n\nIf you are a Windows 9x/ME/XP user, and want to viwe the Windows Task Manager, then maybe it's been blocked by some application-maybe a virus...\n\nIf you are a Win2K, 2K3, the only disable that could take place is that, when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, you get the screen with all buttons disabled (dimmed out) and only Cancel is active...\n\nIf you are a WinXP user, open Start Menu, choose Run, then type:\ntaskmgr\nif Task Manager doesn't show up, then there is an application/virus that disables Task Manager from appearing...it either hides it, and keeps it running in the background only suing PC resources, or closes it ones it starts...

its normally not possible to "lose" your taskbar. is the taskbar minimized? at the bottom of the screen if you see a line, you can drag out your taskbar. the taskbar is not always on the bottom of hte screen

Put your cursor down to bring up the taskbar again.  When the taskbar appears, right-click on it and go to properties.  In properties, be sure that the "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" is checked. as well as "show the clock".  Be sure that "auto-hide the taskbar is unchecked".

Some programs have the option to be in the systray on their menu.  You just kinda have to look for it.  One other thing you can try,  Right click the start button, goto Properties,  Click on the Taskbar option and Customize in the bottom right corner.  From there you can choose what is on the systray and whether to hide, show, etc.

Buy a new harddisk\nUnplug the old one from the motherboard.\nInsert the new one.\nInstall Windows XP SP2.\nAttach the old harddisk to the 2nd channel.\nCopy data from the old one to the new one.\nUnplug the old harddisk.\nNow you have a backup as well as a WinXP without virus/spywares.
