Uninstall programs which is in your control panel.
Or under view - toolbars

try right clicking on your taskbar on the bottom of the screen, choosing properties and checking that it is ticked for keep the taskbar ontop of other windows.

Try minimising the page - then you should get your desktop and be able to access the task bar

Try minimising all your open windows so that you can see your desktop background, and see if you can do it then.

I also have a laptop and my task bar is suddenly on the right hand side of the page instead of at the bottom. I'm sure I did something to make this happen but I don't know what! How can I get it back on the bottom of the page?

Yes, I tried clicking on the task bar to drag it to the bottom but it didn't work. But at least I HAVE a task bar! it's just not where I prefer it to be.

If you right click the taskbar, is "lock the taskbar" ticked? It shouldn't be.
