Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Title Bar is gone.. how to fix

Microsoft XP Pro 64 Bit
Title Bar is missing. I have no Minimize, Maximize and close option. On a
Maximized page for Internet Explorer, the Title Bar is black above the:
website, locked site, refresh icon.
On a Maximized page for a Microsoft Word Document, the Title Bar is
black above the: File, Edit, View... and I can not minimize or maximize on
any window I open including my Microsoft Outlook e-mail.
On a Minimized page I see the Title Bar just fine but have to use "Alt,
Space-bar" in order to get the minimize, maximize, close option. I am trying
to figure out if there is a way to fix this without having to do a system
restore to a date prior to February 10, 2008 when my son somehow messed up
the Title Bar on all applications I run.
This problem is through out my system on anybody's page, we all have
our own log in pages with our own desktop and such. The problem occurred on
my sons’ page and when I opened mine, my page was messed up as well. The
Start Menu Tool Bar was missing I had to bring it up from way down on the
bottom of the page. It took a while but I got it back. Then I went to use a
Word Doc. and that's when I noticed the "Title Bar" Missing and no options
to: Minimize, Maximize or close my Word Pages. My Internet Explorer has the
same problem as well as any other application I try to run.
Your quick reply is greatly appreciated!! God Bless you all and your
families.

Try using System Restore to a point before all this started.
System Restore is found by clicking on <Start>, <All
Programs>, <Accessories>, <System Tools> and finally <System
Restore>.

 

Ahh, my memory is weak, couldn't this be 'Fast User Switching'?

I remember there was an issue with FSU, if it is enabled, try and disabled
that feature. There is an option in:
[Control Panel | User Accounts | Change the way users log on]
