Vista doesn't have a toolbar along the top of the screen, unless you've installed a third party app, such as RocketDock (RocketDock - About RocketDock).

Hi,

Sounds like you may have moved the Taskbar to the top of the screen, and hidden a toolbar.

These tutorials should help.

Taskbar Toolbars - Enable or Disable

Taskbar - Lock or Unlock

Toolbar for the Desktop

Hope it helps

Hi,

I just got a new Vista system (Home Premium with service pack 1) and it did indeed come with something that looks like rocketdock at the top of the desktop. Mine has also disappeared. Anyone know how to find it? Thanks!

I found it, it is called Dell Dock. You can find it by using the search function!

Glad you found it.

I believe The Dell Dock is actually a stripped down version of Objectdock which is also made by Stardock.

Down the track, if you're looking for a little functionality, try Rocketdock. It does more and is free

RocketDock - About RocketDock

Just an idea
