I fyour taskbar's been moved from the original location, you can move it back by right-clicking on any part of it which is tan & unchecking Lock the Toolbars.  Then you can move it wherever you wish.

Right click on your bottom bar-on desktop- and then left click on the properties tab-now left click on the customize tab on the taskbar screen-now click on the item you want to hide and then click hide when inactive, then click ok. When it goes to the next screen,click apply and then ok and then you have those pesky icons hidden!!!!

Hi - this may not give you a direct answer or even help much - but I found a great website.\n\nBasically if you bring up Task Manager (normally Ctrl Alt and Delete then click on Task Manager)... and see what is running in the background by going to the process tab.... \n\nOften there are things running that shouldn't be, or are running and using lots of memory / CPU time that aren't really needed.\n\nGoto http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm\nand see what each process is... you may find some obvious ones that can be removed... The website tells you to remove them by using their software... but if you just search for the file that is running on your computer there may be easier ways to stop them.

It didn't disappear... its still there its just that you have to drag the task bar back up to where it usually is. Point it with your mouse on the bottom then right click on the mouse to drag it back where it use to be......or you can use the windows button on your key board.

if its xp it probably just needs to have the cookies, temporary internet files, and the msconfig startup cleaned out. how many icons do you have showing up next to the clock?

You did not state in which programe you wanted to remove the icons. But in most instances it is a case of going into TOOLS or VIEW (as in Explorer) and click on toolbar and then customise.\nHope this helps

Is your start button gone or there but not functional? If it's gone your task bar may have just been dragged down hidding it...try click and holding down the left mouse button at the very bottom of the screen and drag it back up...To re-enable your desktop icons just click the right mouse button anywhere on your desktop background and go to "Properties" then click (with the left mouse button) the "Desktop" tab and then click the "Customize Desktop" button, there under the "General" tab you will see "Desktop icons" just place a check by the icons you want to appear...

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.

ok when it pops up right click on it and go to properties --> in the properties there should be a check box that makes it automatically hide ( It will be self explantory as it will say something along the lines of automatically hide the task bar ) basically un check that checkbox and also make sure that the task bar isnt locked.\n\nThen you should be able to make your cursour go into a split cursor which will look like 2 arrows, one facing up and one facing down. you have to get the cursour half way over the desktop and half way over the task bar ( if you move the cursor slow enough before it goes fully on to the desktop you will see it change between the two types of cursor ) Then drag it back down to how you want it :)\n\nLook here :\n\nhttp://www.coolnerds.com/XP/Taskbar/xpTaskbar.htm\n\nHope this helps, if not email me and I will get back to you, just make sure to let me know who you are and what it was you need help with so I dont get confused\n\nThanks

Why not make the taskbar hidden automatically?

there are a number of methods to stop those,\n1) go to start --> run --> type in msconfig.\nthen you can remove the start up items, and also you can remove the autoexec and config files from there.\n2) empty the start up folder. in programe files.\n3) the taskbar has some there, you can remove it from there.

First is your tool bar locked or does it hide itself when not used ?\nThen are your icons set on "auto arrange" or do you have a desktop cleaning software installed ?

Due to little information from ur question, may i can suggest few tips, hope it can help u, if not we need soem more deatils of ur config and windows.\n\n1. Don't allow many programs to stay in task bar, as much as possible remove it, mainly have virus scan and some important onces, so this will give more memory to work.\n\n2. Then defragment ur hard disk every one month.\n\n3. Use registry check softwares.\n\n4.If ur using pirate windows stuff, plesae dont update, the windows, if so delete the update and try\n\n5. clear ur history, offline webpages and cookies.
