On WinXP Pro SP2, in Customize Regional Options dialog, on tab Numbers, *List separator* has to be "," (comma).
When other character is set here, PolicyChecker failes evaluating Policy.XML rules.
Errors 0x8000FFFF on lines 928, 1605 and 1897 in PolicyChecker are reported in Event log.

I found entries like these in the event log:
[1]
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( RunAsAdmin ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is...

Not necessary, if you let the installer overwrite the policy.xml.
I'm sure this problem has nothing to do with RAA. It's some kind of privilege problem of the windows shell.
Couldn't you find anything in the event log about a shell startup error!?
Try to revoke your admin rights (be a normal user) when RAA is uninstalled, will the windows shell startup normally in that case!?.

That's correct (although I didn't delete the Shim directory – should I?).

You mean, when uninstalled RAA (and/or deleted registry entries and %SYSTEMROOT%\Shim directory) everything got back to normal, than after reinstalled the program the same taskbar problem occures at the first (re)login!?.

Nope, I've done that about 3 or 4 times now. I thought it may be a bad policy file, so I opted to overwrite it at installation time, but that didn't fix the problem either.

Please try to uninstall than reinstall RAA, that should delete all registry settings.
Alternatively you can manually delete RAA registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RunAsAdmin.
Let me know please if it fixed the problem.
Thanks!

Hi Istvan,
Yes, I know how to restore the Windows shell, but how do I fix RAA? Why doesn't it work all of a sudden?

If the shell, in our case RunAsAdmin explorer.exe can not start correctly and it could not start the real (windows) explorer.exe, you will not see a taskbar either.
To fix this change back the shell registry entry to it's original value like suggested here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/runasadmin/forums/forum/543633/topic/1706114.

Unfortunately we heard that in some cases the task manager could not be started either.
In that case try to login as a different user or to edit the registry remotely.
RAA hijacks the task manager execution also if selected from settings.
You can revert that setting manually also if you delete the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution...
