For some strange reason, one day (about a week ago) I booted my computer (I’m running windows XP professional, SP2) and logged in to my profile and suddenly my taskbar autohides itself…even though I didnt make any changes to tell it to do so. I’ve been trying and trying to get it to come back up but have had no such luck. Im stuck with using alt tab and task manager to get around in windows =(. Does anyone know why windows is doing this and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance
