Questions for the XP gurus?

[Arkitech]

I'm running XP Pro and somehow I managed to lose my open windows that show up in the taskbar. I still can see my icons for the quick launch and the active item icons but where the open programs would show up the taskbar is just blank. Anyone know how to get them back?

I don't know. A virus maybe?

reboot

At first glance, I would think a bug is the culprit as Brazen has suggested. Do you still have a right click menu?
