Hi everyone,
Sorry to disturb with a petty and stupid problem like this one. Don't know how exactly I managed to do it , but my the buttons for running applications are gone from my taskbar. Can only switch between programs via ALT+TAB, which is not always convenient.
I have start button, quick launch tab, language tab and notification tray in my taskbar all working properly, but the actual buttons for running programs are not displayed. Also the dividing border is missing between the quick launch tab and the area where the buttons for running applications normaly appear (little 'engraved' dots line in Windows XP theme). And the taskbar itself looks like there is another one under it (two edges on top). However, draging it around the screen does not help.
Could you please suggest how to restore the default appearance of the taskbar.
Thank you very much,

Denis

Right click on the Taskbar, click Properties, is the Taskbar locked?

Hi Denis, if Geekgirl's suggestion doesn't fix it, please try the Taskbar Repair Tool which you can download here.

Thanks, I did try locking and unlocking the taskbar initialy, and did not change anything.
I'll be trying the taskbar repair tool that nickster_uk suggested (thanks!) and will get back as soon as I have any results.
Thank you.
