Where are all Quick Launch Bar shortcuts saved? I guess its a folder rather than in Registry.

How can I change the Quick Launch Bar folder location?

There is a very simple method to find the answer to such
questions: One creates a unique shortcut on the Quick-Launch
bar, e.g. xyz.lnk, then goes looking for it on the hard disk.
And here it is:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

Why would you want to change it without even knowing
where it is?

They are kept in several different places--use search on the Start Menu and
search on: quick launch. Why would you want to move it/them? It may
cause a problem with QL displaying if you move the folder--just guessing as
I have never done it.

The Quick Launch folder is nothing special. The folder resides at
\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch and you can cut/paste it or contents where you wish.
You could also...

1. Make a new folder where you want it. One of mine is named "Fast Apps"

2. Right click task bar

3. Select "Toolbars"

4. Select "New toolbar"

5. Browse to and select your new folder

6. On the taskbar, drag the shortcuts from Quick Launch to your new one

7. Close Quick Launch.
