Question about 'My Taskbar has disappeared - how do I get it back?'

I have a question about My
Taskbar has disappeared - how do I get it back?:
Packard Bell computer - Windows 98 software
I have recently had problems with stabilising the position of the Taskbar. For some
time it had moved to the top of the screen and I had difficulty trying to drag it
to the base.It allowed me to drag it half way down the screen but the top line remained
attached to the top of the screen. I was thinking that perhaps I had somehow corrupted
the Internet Explorer 5 that was installed, but eventually I did manage to reinstate
at the base of the screen. Unfortunately, the Taskbar disappears when I connect to
the Internet when viewing a Webpage. I have now downloaded IE 6 from Microsoft which
unfortunately has'nt solved the problem. Can anyone please help.?

Right click a blank spot and click properties and check the always on top box.

To resolve this issue, use Registry Editor to delete the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects
You probably can't get to "Regedit" from Windows? Start machine in "DOS Mode" from
command prompt type regedit/? there will be a list of the functions regedit can
do from DOS prompt.
Apparantely, this key is created win windows boots which also creates "Taskbar"
