I was trying to end the process of that net project/virus head thing last month
and explorer.exe was ended in the process accidentally...
The only thing that does show is the quick launch and
I use alt+tab to navigate my open windows instead since they are nowhere to
be seen on the taskbar. .

I suppose that all happend after I accidentally terminated the process.
Everyone else's computer account's taskbar works fine though, which left me confused.
And I tried to attempt a system restore on my computer
last month--around the beginning of that month or so to try to fix that Virus heat issue--since that
was always the thing that worked whenever problems occured, but now it just doesn't work.
It will always say, "System restore failed".
