Get task manager open, kill the explorer.exe process. That usually causes the taskbar to relaunch, but on the rare occassion it does not click File->New Task and type in explorer.exe, then click OK. That will launch your taskbar. I know I'm 5 years late with this, but I forgot how to do it and this came up in google without the right answer I knew was there. So next time I forget this should be here waiting for me. ;)
