hidden taskbar how to get back?

I'm not quite sure how it happened but somehow while having problems starting up the dvd drive in my computer for the first tiem I clsoed a window and somehow hide the taskbar

I now havbe nothing winning on screen but a screensaver !

i hit the vaio assist button and tried everything it suggested but

hitting the windows button on the keyboard didnt help

finidng the taskbar icon and dragging it didnt work

leftclicking while i had the pointer on the double header arrow taskbar icon didnt work

i can assess vaio and the assist area and windows open but no taskbar so I cnat use the net to get remote assistance and I cant even log on or off probably

there is a dim possiblity this is virus i was trying to donwlad freeware off a dvd ?

but i think I somehow minimized or hide th taskbar

nothings showing but the screenscreen

i dont have the show desktop or start button even!

Update:

so techno would that work with a TASKBAR THAT S INVISIBLE?

Update 2:

travis i did turn off the computer and restart it but the computer's jsut keeps going back to the screen saver/ wallpaper and showing nothing else

i've not tried the restore options since i'm afraid using 4 hours of coding work

    Open Task Manager (press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, or right click taskbar)

    Click the 'Processes' tab, end all processes of 'explorer.exe'. Then from the menu, click 'File'>new process>type...

    explorer.exe

    Click 'OK' Exit task manager and re- start.

    Restart your computer, your explorer.exe might have been ended in the processes which can happen and get rid of your task bar.
