To clarify:
Are you saying 99% of Win7 users don't lose the taskbar once they start the game or just that the task bar automatically comes back for them once they exit the game session
If you are saying the former, I question that. But if you are saying the latter, I agree the reason mine does not automatically come back is due to the fact I control-alt switch so I can reference the game manual in PDF. But I agree usually when I exit out of the game, then my task bar comes back.
So I just make sure any program I may need while playing the game is already open. I have 6GB of RAM so memory is not an issue.

The batch file had to be edited to include a change directory (CD) command to actually change to the windows directory before restarting explorer. Otherwise, Windows 7 would simply launch an explorer window, rather than restarting the desktop, if the CMD file was called from another programme (Game Options in this case).
The CD command line was not required if you started the CMD file directly from explorer since the current directory is changed to that by the navigation in Windows Exploder itself.
At the moment - 99% of Windows 7 users have no problems with loss of the desktop, post the batch file session completing.
You seem to be one of the the exceptions. I have absolutely no idea why your set-up does not do what the other 99% do.
Not unless you are trying to relaunch the windows desktop while the full screen game session is current. That is an absolute no-no of course!.
The full-screen game batch session must be the only application of any type that you are doing. The batch session might let you alt-tab to any applications that were open when you started the session (with palette problems for them perhaps) - but the results of that are indeterminate.
