Windows toolbar disappeared from my computer

Greetings,

I can't figure out what happened to my toolbar. I was moving and
adding things to my toolbar on my laptop, and by mistake I moved the
border of my toolbar down. When I restored it to the previous setting,
all of my windows disappeared. I can still see my Quick Launch with
icons, the system tray with all icons, the time, but my programs don't
show up as icons anymore. I can open as many programs as I want to,
but none will show up on the toolbar. I can open different toolbars
(Address, Windows Media Player, Desktop, Links, Language bar, etc),
but can't get anything to show my open applications/programs. In order
for me to access any open windows I have to use 'Alt' + 'Tab'. How can
I restore my toolbar? I have tried everything that I know about
Windows.

Thank you for your help.

Assuming Windows XP, just use the restore feature to restore it to a point
before you lost it. (Start then 'Help and Support' and then 'undo changes to
your computer with system restore')
