Upon windows starting, quick launch is always absent from taskbar. Easily
turned on and remains on until reboot is comleted once again. Every time
windows starts quick launch is off!

Right click taskbar>toolbars>check quick launch
remains on until reboot!

Help
 
Without sounding self righteous or sarcastic, YES!
I seem to recall a document from the knowledge base several months ago that
pointed towards a registry key that had gone awry. However I have been
unsuccessful in finding it and hoped that his might be the place in which to
gather useful info. I guess time will tell. Thank you for your effort in
helping me.

There are two forms of the Quick Launch error:

1) After every reboot, you have to manually restart Quick Launch, or
2) when you try to activate Quick Launch, you get a "Cannot create
toolbar..." error.

If you are encountering problem #1 above, then do the following:

1. In Registry Editor (Start > Run... > regedit), navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

2. Find the "Userinit" key
3. it probably contains:

%system32%\wsaupdater.exe,

where %system32% represents the path to the System32 folder. For example,
C:\Windows\System32

4. Instead of wsaupdater.exe, the data should contain userinit.exe,. Using
the example above, change it to:

C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe,

Do not forget to add the comma at the end!!!

5. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer.

This may help.
 
Check that this folder exists after rebooting:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\QuickLaunch

If not, create it, then enable the Quicklaunch bar.
