anyone know what causes the icons located within the quicklaunch toolbar to
relocate themselves? It is ANNOYING to say the least!

Delete these keys or values from the registry. This will reset many things like saved folder settings.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and delete the value
Shellstate

And these keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam
 
I have seen that prank, the moving icon, that is funny too.
My problem is not the icons moving when I try to click them, it is that they
shuffle themselves from left to right, randomly. The one on the left will
disappear and reappear later on the right side.

I cannot recreate a situation that causes this behavior, but locking the
taskbar does not solve the problem.

This is a secure station, nobody else has access to "mess" with it.

Hmmm....

Thanks for the reply

Heyyo,

Hmm, yeah, somewhere on the net I found a registry entry that reset your explorer bar, search for it, n' it should return it to its default look. Hopefully after that, whatever caused your icon movements should stop. If not? well, I dunno then. I'm still a PC support specialist in training. ;)
