This is a very old thread, but for those finding this through a search engine....

Summary:  Kill off all explorer processes and start a new one which should then
manage the task bar.

Steps:
  Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager
  Click the Processes Tab
  Sort by Image Name (click "Image Name)
  End all "explorer.exe" tasks
  Click the Applications tab
  Click the "New Task..." button
  Type "explorer" in the "Open:" drop-down (or select it from the drop down)
  Close the Task Manager
