This issue can occur if the registry has been damaged.
You will need to use the Registry Editor (regedit) to delete the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects
When you restart Windows, the taskbar will be automatically recreated.

Start Button / Run / Type msconfig Click Enter / Startup Tab.
Sorry didn't read your post right....
Try Ctrl/Alt/Del and File Menu / New Task (Run)
