cannot unlock taskbar

[Bill]

I reloaded my laptop using the dell recovery disks and
now, my taskbar is permanently locked. I right click on
the taskbar, uncheck lock the taskbar, but it never
unlocks.

Also, any changes I make to the folder view goes away as
soon as I close the window even though I go into tools,
apply to all folders, and click apply to make the
changes. As soon as I close the window, the changes I
made are lost.
