ICQ not showing up on my task bar
 

I know I must have set something wrong, anyone have an idea where or what?

Probaly explorer crashed.Run explorer.exe again.

happens even after reboot

Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling icq? Maybe even upgrading to one of their bloated newer versions. Or just go straight for Trillian since it does icq and a bunch of other IMs.

Wasn't it fucked up for you anyway?

install the new version?

install the new version?

has it ever shown in the task bar,,,,? if so go into start menu> task bar> customize>choose always show.. that should do it
