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?:

OK. Tried the 'dragging from bottom' bit, the disable/enable autohide/lock part, and the 'bar is not hidden anywhere else on the screen. DL'd the 'XP taskbar desktop fixall' from that site mentioned in many threads, and the 'bar popped briefly into view but just as quickly went away! The taskbar also shows itself during reboot but by the time XP finishes loading, it goes on vacation again. I created another account with admin status, switched, and there it is, working fine. Switch back over to my account, and no, it isn't there. Incidentally, this happened after I installed the Aston shell and gave it a try and then switched the shell back to Windows. I uninstalled the Aston, deleted the bits that remained, and then cleaned the registry of any leftovers. Any new answers to this dilemma would be great - my XP disc is at the bottom of a box under more boxes a few miles away in storage (yeah, smart). Thanks!
