First make sure you have quick launch turned on.\nRt click on the task bar -->properties -->check 'show quick launch.'\n\nThen left click-drag the icon next to the start button until you see a black bar and let go

I can only give my advice about what I think has happened to your task bar (the bar on the bottom).  I am thinking you normally have a couple of icons such as for your internet browser, on the right hand side of your task bar...\nIf you want these back, right click on the task bar and go to Toolbars and make sure Quick Launch has a tick by it.  Other than that, the task bar has very little else on it.  Maybe your clock has gone? Then right click on the task bar and choose Properties.  Make sure Show the Clock is selected.  Have a play with all the other options to see what suits you.\nAbout the tool bar on top, are you talking about within your browser?  Try right clicking just below the address and make sure there is a tick by Menu Bar.  Choose any other menus to suit you.  If I am completely getting the wrong end of the stick, sorry.

right click on your start button and choose properties then set your start menu to xp style, you will see icons then.  also, if your task manager is not pulling up, you probably have to much stuff running in the background and your system is struggling with what little memory it has to work with.  Try this:  click on start>Run>type in the open field:  msconfig and click ok.  click on the startup tab at the top and disable all start-up items and then reboot.  i bet your task manager will open then.

set program access and defaults\n\nif you have windows xp sp2 with latest updates, you should have that located somewhere in your start menu

When that happens, look at the notification area (sys tray).  You should see an icon there for the program.  Clicking on it will bring the window back up.

start/my computer/local disk c/program files/internet explorer.\n\nopen internet explorer file...right click on i.e. icon...click on send to and choose desktop (create shortcut).\n\nthis will put your icon back on your desktop.

http://www.icongalore.com/\n  You can download free icons from this sight. Create a shortcut to the program you want, right click on it, go to properties and change icon. I have XP and can't see any way to move icons from desktop to taskbar. Earlier versions of Windows allowed you to do this.

First Go up through the START MENU and right click on PROGRAMS.   Pick EXPLORE from the list, and POOF, you are using Windows Explorer on your start menu.    Then go to the menu at the TOP of the page and pick NEW then FOLDERS from the FILE menu.  \n\nYou can then copy or move various ICON shortcuts to that folder.

Go to "Control Panel". Open "Sounds & Audio Properties". Put a check mark on "Place an icon in the taskbar". Then click O.k.  Thats how you do it in XP anyway.

I don't know if there's a key, but there's an icon on the toolbar (in the quick launch section)you can click to get there.\n\nIn Windows 98 it looked like a paintbrush, in XP it's like a lopsided blue target with an arrow (or a pencil) in the middle.

I will still be on the desktop but it will simply do beyond the right side of your screen and you will not be able to select it. You then can change the resolution to a higher setting to get those icons to show up.\n\nWith that many icons on your desktop, you can experience slowdowns as certain operations will cause the computer to reload all the icons on the desktop.
