Also Check to see if it is hidden at the top or sides, i fall for that one all the time... if it is just "drag" it back down with your mouse and then follow quincys adive above ;-)

Also, if the taskbar isn't "Locked", it may have been dragged off the viewable screen. If the above don't work, move your mouse pointer to the bottom of your screen. If the pointer changes to a double ended arrow, left click and drag the taskbar upwards to get it visible again.

You may have to do the same at the sides of the monitor if the taskbar has also been moved.

does she have ObjectDock installed by any chance?

a common flaw of that program is for the entire taskbar to disappear when objectdock is running, so if she does, disable it and see what happens

Try pressing the windows key on the keyboard (to the left of the space bar) it should then show the programs menu and might give you a clue to where it is... then try one of the tips above.
