Somehow??? when I launch application now they do not appear on my taskbar?
I'm running a laptop with XP /SP2? does anyone know what causes this and
how to restore this feature....

I can switch by using Alt-tab still but nothing I do seems to recover the
task list on the buttom of the screen on the task bar.

thanks!

i had the same problem. I fixed it with system restore, but haven't found a
REAl way to fix it. It happens randomly. Help appreciated!

Does it happen with any specific programs? or is it totally random?

Try diabling these services:

Universal Plug and Play Device Host
SSDP Discovery Service
