Possibly as a result of another brush with Antivirus 2009 (?malware/virus?), we suffered a series of Blue Screens of Death and while running a McAfee full virus scan, my task bar on my desktop computer (WIN XP Home SP3) sunk down below the screen and hasn't reappeared, even after numerous reboots and shutdowns.   I have to call up the Task Manager to reboot or log out.  That's the only tool I can call up, or the only keyboard sequence that will work.  The "Windows" key does nothing.  I can access files on the computer remotely via our wireless router, but cannot access anything on the computer itself, since no keyboard or mouse action works, even right-clicking for Properties.  Any ideas?
