Mike,

Below is some info I found on the internet. You might try it.  PaulA

=================Taskbar info============

What do you do when the Taskbar ends up at the top or to the right or left?
Or worse yet, disappears completely?

If it's completely gone, you can touch Crtl-Esc and bring it back. To get it
back more-or-less permanently, move your mouse to the bottom of the screen.
It will turn into a two-headed arrow. Click and drag upwards and your
Taskbar will reappear. If the mouse cursor doesn't turn into a two-headed
arrow, try the sides of the screen or the top.
