Windows 7: Windows 7 Taskbar Disappears - another method to resolve this

Hello,

My taskbar on Windows 7 happens to disappear from time to time, right after the screensaver comes off. I searched for the problem here, and found some advice that didn't work out for me. I tried something else which did work, however, and thought I should post it here.

My solution was, I entered Task Manager, and ended the process 'explorer.exe'. This made everything disappear of course. Still within Task Manager, I chose File > New Task (Run...) and entered 'explorer.exe'. Simply terminated and ran it again. Everything I had, including open programs and windows, was back, including the Taskbar.

Cheers

My windows 7 taskbar kept appearing and disappearing.
I right clicked on the Windows symbol on the left of the taskbar
clicked on Properties then Taskbar tab then clicked on "Lock the taskbar"
It worked!

Turning off and then back on explorer.exe worked for me. Thanks, ggh78.
