My taskbar has started disappearing.

 

That's the entire taskbar: Start button, quick launch icons, buttons

for running programs, system tray. The desktop wallpaper shows beneath

the open window.

 

After a few minutes, it comes back.

 

Any idea why this happens?

    Ernie, rt click the Taskbar and select Properties. Uncheck the Autohide

    the Taskbar box if checked. Also Lock the Taskbar and Keep Taskbar above

    other Windows.

    Is "Auto-hide the taskbar" checked?

    It sounds to me like Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer!) is crashing. You

    might find some clues in the Event logs.

    Have you ever noticed that if something is advertised as 'amusing' or

    'hilarious', it usually isn't?
