After making the task manager visible the above said method, i closed it for a while. after a few minutes, i pressed alt+ctrl+del keys for tskmgr. it doesn't appeared. I inspected the taskbar by right clicking it. its not active there..

Yeah.. its definitely a virus/malware problem!
You shud get it throughly scanned by an updated Antivirus. And after that, use the tricks which other members described above to bring back the taskbar.

Definetly a Malware/Virus problem. Faced this problem Uncountable times when I was new to computing.

Run a thorough scan with an updated antivirus. Download Spybot S&D perform a thorough check. If everything fails, try restoring your computer. Else, time to reinstall your OS.

It may be happened due to two reasons ,i.e. 1.Worm or Trojan 2. Registry Key
First navigate to:HKEY_CURRENT_USER
And from there to:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Now look carefully and if u find The key named "DisableTaskMgr " then double click on it and change its value to "0". If it does'nt work then delete it.

^ Its not what you posted.
Other members have already suggested it.
Problem reappears after he closes Task Man.


Hence, it must be virus problem.

Click Start
Click Run
Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
In the Group Policy settings window
Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates
Select System
Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
Select Remove Task Manager
Double-click the Remove Task Manager option

And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

@Mr Prince: Even though the steps u suggested will enable the task manager but after reboot it will again disable the task manager....becoz there is worm/virus lurking in his PC...

Exactly.
Thats why registry editing wont help.
