Missing taskbar buttons

By the task bar buttons i would expect you are talking about the quick
launch bar which displays the show desktop / minimise all windows, internet
explorer and the windows media player buttons by default.

Simply right click on the task bar in an empty spot and select toolbars >
quicklaunch.

If that does not help you can try going start > run and in the open box
type:
explorer C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

A window will appear. You can then drag and drop shortcuts into this window
and they will appear on the task bar.
