Help me! I was on my Windows XP account and I accidently opened PowerPoint and then a little notice speech bubble appeared on my taskbar so I clicked the little [X] and it didn't close. Then I ignored it, thinking it would close sooner or later, closed PowerPoint and then my computer froze (but i could move the mouse) and then the taskbar went black! I can't access the Start or Taskbar! Help me this isn't even my computer, it's actually my mom's and I'm afraid I broke it!

Then I wanted to completely close my account, so I went on my mom's Window XP account and tried to close it but I'm still logged in! Are there HotKeys I can use to log off without using the Start button? Please help I'm really upset I don't want to make my mom mad!! =(

press these 3 keys on the keyboard. All 3 keys need to be held down for this work:

'Ctrl' + 'Alt' + 'Delete'

After you have done this the box that appears should give you a number of options, including 'log off' or shut down the computer.

put your cursor on the botom of the screen then the sides and then the top see if the task bar appears, if it does right click and select properties and then unclick auto hide
