The qiuck launch toolbar is not saving my icon positions,
after logging off or restarting. It was fine until
applying some critical windows updates, then it
reorganized them and now I can't reset them the way I
want them. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Description
Prevents users from saving certain changes to the
desktop. Users can change the desktop, but some changes,
such as the positions of open windows and the size and
position of the taskbar, are not saved when users log
off. Shortcuts placed on the desktop are always saved.

This entry stores the setting of the Don't save settings
at exit Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the
registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If
you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group
Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system
behaves as though the value is 0.

Value Meaning
0 (or not in registry) The policy is disabled or
not configured. Changes to the desktop are saved.
1 The policy is enabled. Some changes to the desktop are not saved.

Thank you for your help. This has annoyed me for a long

I got similiar problem and also problem with folder views
settings(xp won't save my choosen view - only uniform
look for all folders)...also, any changes I did in quick
lunch and other toolbar from taskbar weren't
saved...after applying tweaks from kelly pages all
problems are gone....
I applied savesettings.reg and bags8000.reg

I think that applying this two reg entry resolve my
problems and that should do same to your problem...

greetings,
