Hi all,
Have been working on a system, XP home editon removing a virus and now the system tray or lower task bar has gone. I have removed this same virus from other systems with no probs. I think I have deleted a file in system32 ? maybe.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

hello go to this site , http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm , good luck
Have you checked to make sure the taskbar wasn't altered in any way? e.g. have you right-clicked the taskbar and hit "lock taskbar" (Which should unlock it if it's locked to begin with) and pull them open? That's probably the first step I would take before trying anything drastic.
Thank you for your help. All fixed.
