Quick Launch Doesn't Stick

Dave Lee

Windows XP Home SP 3

I have:
Unlocked Taskbar
Placed Icons on the Bar
Locked Taskbar

The next time I re-boot the system the Quick Launch Icons are missing.

In the Taskbar Properties I have checked:
Lock the Taskbar
Keep Taskbar on top
Group Similar items
Show Quick Launch Bar

Where can I look to solve this problem?
 
You must place the icons in the QuickLaunch area - not just on the Taskbar.
Also, the actual folder is at \Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch\
 
The Icons are in the Quick Launch area.

Cut and paste everything between the lines below, paste it into note pad.
Save the file as qlfix.reg and save

it to the desktop. Make sure you change the drop down box next to save as
type: to all files. Once saved double

click on the file to merge it into the registry. Reboot.

Alas, I found out from the MVPs that not all MVPs are on this list. They
aren't listed if they so choose. This is like going to the doctor's office,
seeing their diploma and credits hanging on the wall, but not able to verify
if any or all of them are true. My response has been that if you aren't on
the MVP list then you are not an MVP. If you aren't officially listed then
you are not an official MVP.

Chris Butts, aka The Real Truth [MVP] and his several other nyms, is a known
hazardous poster pretending to be an MVP. He never has been an MVP and
never will be an MVP. The MVP community knows him well and will never
nominate him. Because he knows he will never legitimately acquire the MVP
title, he pretends he has it. He is a liar and also a software plagarist.
He has been discovered trying to imposter other users in a vain attempt to
inflame others against this denouncing army of posters that expose his past
exploits and intent.

He even tried to register the ms-mvp.org domain to further his pretense as a
Microsoft employee and as an MVP. The MVPs are already aware of this and he
has not yet been able to actually host that domain (if he ever does, it is
likely the MVPs will immediately alert Microsoft who will target their
armada of lawyers at him). In a response from Microsoft and also according
to some MVPs, Microsoft already knows about this imposter, too (i.e., his is
on file). GoDaddy has been notified but declares that they will do nothing
against this imposter. Their excuse is that they cannot prove intent until
a web site appears but also claim that whomever becomes his webhoster must
get notified of his fraudulent site if he ever attempts to actually deploy
his impersonation. If you look at the response from the GET command when
trying to visit his site, you get "HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily". That
probably means his webhoster either won't permit him to publish his site or
he has not yet chosen to publish it.

If you right-click on a blank spot in the QuickLaunch toolbar and select
Open, Windows Explorer will navigate to that folder. Do you see your
shortcuts there?

Is a restore-state program running on your host, like Microsoft's
SteadyState, Symantec's old GoBack, Returnil, Acronis Try&Decide, Comodo's
Time Machine which can restore a partition's image on a hard disk back to a
prior known or base state?

What anti-malware or other security products are running on your host?

The only KB article that I found that might be applicable (although for an
older version of Windows) is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273785.

I appreciate your input on this matter but all I say is he's not on the
list.

Hmm, someone is intercepting your newsgroup posts. They added lines
starting with "The web page ...", "Check out 'pcbutts' ...", and "Can you
really trust ...". >;-)

WOW don't you feel like a fool for telling all those lies. Did you make
all that up or did some troll tell you?

You're a trip dude. Did you see BTS's web page?

http://tekrider.net/usenet/pcbutts.php

Care to give us a picture of another woman you're not?

Really Chris, you need help. There is something wrong with you.

I just wanted to make sure you saw the page I refer to. I'm not going to
play your game because a person can't win with a person in denial.

Denial is not a river in Africa.

Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a
person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and
rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be
overwhelming evidence.
