Some of you may have encountered that after installing a program or changing a configuration, you find that the taskbar has disappeared. What's up with that? Well, it usually means there's a problem in explorer.exe. The following procedure will usually bring it back:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open Task Manager
2. Click the Processes tab and see if the explorer.exe process is running. Sometimes you'll see multiple instances of it
3. Highlight and click Kill Process to close each one
4. Click the Applications tab and click the New Task button
5. Type explorer.exe in the box to restart the process
