This is possibly a duplicate.

I am new at using this post. Still trying to resolve my problem. Can anyone
tell me how to get back at those who reply and offer suggestions? Malke sent
me a solution but I am not computer literate enough to understand him on this
issue.

How can I get back to him? I would like to tell him/her that I was unable to
see any dotted line, nor do I undersand where the Quick Launch icons are.

Thanks

If you are using Outlook Express Newsreader, you can do a Find on messages
(depending on how far back you need to go).

As far as Quick Launch Icons, they are under:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

It is a combination of both. You should fine all Quick Launch Shortcuts
there.
You can change anyone of the shortcut icons in each folder.
 
Right click an empty are of your Taskbar and make sure there is no tick next
to 'Lock the Taskbar'
Next move your mouse to the top of the Taskbar and when it turns from an
arrow into an up and down arrow click and hold down the left mouse button
and drag the Taskbar down to the size you want.

Quick Launch icons are links to programs and if turned on are usually just
to the right of the Start button.

Hope this Helps,

Simon.

You can't send me an email directly, but you can post just like you did.
Are you using Windows Classic desktop? I had a client who had the
"Quick Launch doubles" issue and insisted that he couldn't see any
dotted line. I connected to his machine using Remote Assistance and saw
that he had the classic (not XP) interface and sure enough, no dotted
line.

In that case, IIRC it was a solid line. I'll see if I can "draw" you
what happens here (pretend this is your Taskbar):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start Button| icon icon icon (Quick Launch toolbar) | (Sys. Tray) clock
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right-click on the main Taskbar and make sure there is no checkmark next
to "Lock Taskbar". If there is, uncheck it so the Taskbar is unlocked.
Right-click again and examine the Toolbars (slide cursor to the right
to see the Toolbar choices). Do you have Quick Launch checked? If you
do, then probably the right margin of your Quick Launch bar has gotten
too far over, so it looks sort of like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Start Button| icon icon icon (Quick Launch toolbar
(more QL toolbar without icons) | (Sys.Tray) clock
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
^

This little "up arrows" are pointing at the real right margin of your
Quick Launch toolbar.

You need to "grab" the right margin of the Quick Launch toolbar and drag
it up next to the end of the Quick Launch icons so it looks like the
first Taskbar I "drew" you. Then you'll be able to "push" the tool bar
back down to one level. After you get it fixed, right-click on the
Taskbar and lock it!

I'm sorry, but that's as descriptive as I can be in a newsgroup post. If
this isn't your issue or it wasn't helpful, have a knowledgeable friend
or family member (someone who is *really* knowledgeable and not just
saying he is) come over and take a look.
