Start Menu, taskbar..whole bar missing!

[manohartvs]

In my friend's computer, the Start Menu, Taskbar...ie the whole bar(forget what it is called) is missing.
It just is always disappeared. But when you open explorer and close explorer, and you are on your desktop, it appears again.
It is NOT autohide/the menu pulled down because it is locked.
I cannot even see the regular arrow become a double arrow when I move it down.

It comes back suddenly, but disappears again.

Anyone seen this before?

Nik, kindly direct him to the correct forum.

Explorer, your shell, is failing and restarting. Reboot.

If this is not helping, remove any newly added apps, hardware or drivers and try again.

hide under your desk and peer at your monitor slowly. maybe the taskbar is just shy.

It doesn't work.

CTRL+ALT+DELETE -> Task manager -> File -> New task -> type explorer, hit enter

Me saves the day again, no need for reboot

see if somehow explorer.exe is not set as the shell

check out this for more details: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/micros...7259/81a2185f29a298b3#81a2185f29a298b3

though if your friend doesn't have any idea how this might be, he/she should reinstall b/c obviously something's very wrong in that case

Perhaps even fashion some sort of periscope.
