Ok I know what your thinking move your mouse around the edge of the screen and your problem is solved!!!!!

NO!

My taskbar is literally gone the only way I can get it to reappear is the use ctrl+alt+delete

Its not on auto-hide and it is locked!

So what gives, its there when I start windows but then its just poof gone but my IE window acts like it is still there........

I find this odd, it does it in safe mode also.

OH! and when it disappears my cpu usage changes from folding at home to everything using 100%

Update now ctrl+alt+delete doesn't bring it up ............

SinDicate

try CTRL + ESC ??

or
press CTRL+ALT+DEL to fire up the task manager. Now on the File menu, select New Task (Run...). Type in "explorer" and press OK. That should restart explorer and re-display your taskbar.

if not try this

You probably have malware...
Have you installed any OFF BRAND tweaking programs recently?
WinAntivirus does that and SpyNuker....
Run a full scan online with a 3rd party like Trend Micro or even Symantec...turn off your current software ahead of time....
GPEDIT.MSC is the run command for the global functions/limitations of your PC...
If you use a Tweaking APP...it might have disabled it there.
