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.

I had to untick the box saying 'Auto-hide the taskbar' before mine worked, not 'keep on top of other windows'
THANKS, F11 FIX THE PROBLEM, NOW I CAN SEE THE TASKBAR, THANKS KEITH
Did't work. I have no "task bar/start menu" appearing anywhere
I need help to get the start button from the taskbar, thank you.
