This symptom can occur if you do not have a Quick Launch folder.
If this is the problem you can resolve it by using Windows Explorer
to create a folder named "Quick Launch" (without the quotes) at the
following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
If you cannot find the Application Data folder (and subfolders)
use Folder Options to configure your computer to "display hidden
and system files". For more information search the Windows XP
Professional Help and Support Center for the words in
double-quotes and read the Suggested Topic by that title.
The following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article addresses the
issue for Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0:

According to many posts by "Ramesh [MVP]", this problem may
be cause by Blazefind or any other malware (that modifies the
"Userinit" registry value). For more information use Google
Advanced Groups Search to search for:
