How Do You Fix A Disappearing Start Menu, Start Button And Taskbar?
This is a common problem. One day you turn on your computer and the Start Menu and Taskbar are gone. It can also happen in the middle of a session for no explainable reason. At least half the time it’s not due to a virus, but because you accidentally pushed the F11 key, configured the Taskbar to autohide or Explorer crashed… Step 1 jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep1 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4915809/auto-hide_Full.jpg’); }); Auto-hide checked off in Vista’s Taskbar configuration window. **Auto-hide** If you right click on empty part of your Taskbar -> Choose “Properties” -> Check off the Auto-hide check-box, your Taskbar will disappear unless you move your mouse to the bottom edge of the screen. On rare occasions people who have knowingly configured their Taskbar this way will accidentally move it to the right, left or top of the screen. In this case moving down to the bottom of the screen no longer works.
