Am I crazy, or did my task bar disappear?  When I am looking at my desktop I have a task bar... and I could have sworn that for the last couple months (since installing Vista) I had a task bar visable when I was in Internet Explorer.  ("You don't know what you got til its gone."  :-P) Only problem is, NOW when I'm in Internet Explorer, I DON'T have a task bar.  I NOW have to navigate between programs by using the ALT+TAB.  I don't know of anything else that has changed on this computer. 

Any ideas on how to get the task bar up an running for while I'm in Internet

Explorer?

--Thanks

Hello,

It sounds like you may have accidentally enabled Internet Explorer's kiosk mode. Press the F11 key inside of internet explorer, and see if that fixes the problem.

    Hi Cindi,

    Your Solution Has solved the problem ! . Thanks a lot every time when i used to see that option in the task bar , I mean < Keep the taskbar on top of other windows> , I thought it has nothing to do with this issue . After  seeing your comments , I really Understood the meaning of that context .

    Thanks
