    In the Synaptics applet that sits in the task bar, I went to the settings and changed the option to make it so that the Synaptics applet no longer appears in the task bar.

    Now, I want to load Synaptics, but it's not in my Start Menu. I went to it's location in Program Files, but none of the .exe's there launched the program.

    I even used my Gateway Recovery DVD to reinstall the Synaptics again, but it still doesn't show up on my task bar.

    How do I get it back?
