The taskbar on one of the Windows2000 computers where I work disappears after 20 to 30 minutes. If the user logs off, and then logs back on, it will reappear. I have tried right clicking where the taskbar should be, refreshing the desktop, pressing Ctrl+Esc, and then right clicking where the taskbar should be to get the taskbar back, but nothing has worked yet. I will give 500 points to somebody who can help me.

Two things:
1 You have probably already tried but go into START>SETTINGS>TASKBAR and make sure that "Always on Top" is CHECKED and "Auto Hide" is UNCHECKED.

2 A reinstall of Service Pack 2 for W2000 may help correct corrupted files, but make sure you back everything up first.

I deleted the user profile, and had Windows 2000 recreate it. This fixed the problem.
