You will need to do this several times if your task bar disappears again. Go to "C:\WINDOWS" folder through "My Computer".

COPYING AND RENAMING EXPLORER.EXE File Copy the EXPLORER.EXE (Computer icon) file and paste it in the same folder. A file "Copy of EXPLORER.EXE" will be created in the folder. Now change the file name to your name.exe. For example, I renamed mine to "deshmukh.exe"

CHANGE REGISTRY - REGEDIT Now go to Start >> Run and type "regedit" and press enter key. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon. In this folder, you will find a sub named "shell". Double click it and rename the "explorer.exe" to "deshmukh.exe"

RESTART Restart your computer after making this change. Everything will be back to normal without any problems!
