How do I make sure that the task windows appear on my taskbar for Windows XP?

I use Windows XP as my operating system. Now sometimes randomly when I start my computer the task windows(such as the internet explorer that is opened or my documents or windows explorer) won't show up in my taskbar. When I minimize the windows they just disappear. I have to click alt+tab to flip through windows. Could you tell me how can I fix that?

1. Right Click on your Taskbar and click Properties and then select the appropriate settings and save. It should work now.
2. umm right click on ur taskbar and make sure "lock the taskbar" is checked/ticked. then right click and go to toolbars and check/click quick launch. this will make sure "internet explorer, desktop, etc' icons will sit there i think this should solve the other issue as well all teh best
3. Perhaps your task-bar is being hidden? Right-click the task bar and check the "lock the task bar" option and make sure "auto-hide" is not unchecked. There are a few more options there which you should set so nothing is being auto-hidden.
