TaskBar issue (Windows XP)

[vawoman]

Just has a system rebuild and things are NOT how they were before!!
1. My Taskbar is now NOT visible when I am in various applications. How do I get it back/visible?
2. My open, minimized MS IE browser windows are stacking ontop of themselves, instead of aligning left to right on the task bar to readily show me what webpages I have open though minimized. How do I fix this so they are NOT stacked vertically, put aligned on taskbar horizontally?
Thanks.

Right-click an empty part of the task bar and select Properties from the popup menu.
Clear the check box "Auto-hide the taskbar".
Tick the check box "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows".
Clear the check box "Group similar taskbar buttons".
Click OK.
