I have a question about My Taskbar has disappeared - how do I get it back?:

So this happened to me yesterday. No taskbar, no desktop icons. Task manager works and it looks as thought it will launch programs but I sure would like to have the start button and icons back. This happened when I was uninstalling and reinstalling Musicmatch software. The system began to hang up after re-install so I decided to use system restore and take it back to when the computer wasn't hanging up. Well it hung up in the middle of the system restore and after 8 hours I had to shut the machine down. I re-started and it gave me the message that the system was successfully restored but sadly, that is when the trouble really began. So here's what I have done so far and none of it has worked: Downloaded and ran the kellys- korner fix, no good. downloaded and ran the shellreg fix, no good Re-installed Windows XP, no good, Re-installed Windows XP again, no good. Someone in another forum mentioned deleteing the microsoft key in the registry, I am concerned about trying that, since I am a little hazy about what the "key" is. Someone else mentioned deleting my identity, I have no idea how to make that work. Boy any advice you guys might have is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob
