Good! Glad you found it! Now, move the cursor over the left border of
the Quick Launch box until it turns into the double-arrow Candlin spoke
of. Then, drag it back onto the Toolbar. Probably, you want to get it
between the START button & the Taskbar. If you can't do it directly,
then let it go the right of those-- & afterwards drag the Taskbar right.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

| Another followup
|
| I took a careful look at the Quick Launch folder that was at the
location,
| Front Page gave. It wasn't the same size, thus not the same
| folder--althought it said it was.
|
| I deleted it and pasted into that location the "Quick Launch" folder
that
| should have been there.
|
| Guess what!
|
| the gray, empty box is no longer gray and empty, but has the Quick
Launch
| icons in it and they work.
|
| So, I have in the middle of my screen a "Quick Launch" box, with
icons.
|
| Now the problem is how to join this into the applications tool bar.
|
| Ideas?

| rcharlie,
|
| as a follow up.
|
| I just got hold of the "Quick Launch" area, pulled it as a box up
into the
| full screen.
| The box says "Quick Launch at the top left and there is an "x" for
close on
| the right.
| The above is all in a title line, which turns blue when I put the
focus there.
|
| BUT: the contents of the box is completely gray. Nada in it.
| I tried to open it with notepad, explorer, word, IE, and Finally
Front Page.
|
| Front Page said it couldn't open it and gave the name of the file:
| "C:\Windows\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick
| Launch"
|
| Yet, when I go to that location, the QL folder is there.
|
| The QL box BTW is set to "always on top"
|
| At least I know now that the area isn't hidden.
|
| Any ideas? charlie, anyone?

| thanks for the try Charlie,
|
| I had tried those ideas before. I tried them again, pulling the
toolbar 1/2
| way up the screen.
|
| I just haven't a clue where the shortcuts (& their icons) went.
|
| Obviously, the bar is doing something or it wouldn't gobble up
something
| trying to be put there that is on the desktop and also in the
Quick Launch
| folder & sending the Error Message.
| But they sure seem to be hidden.
| Am I going to have to reinstall, just to get the icons back? ugh!
|
| It's a real pain.
| Everything is set so it should be working.
|
| Since I can't pull them--it is possible that they have rolled off
the screen
| somehow. I'm going to go to a different resolution and see if
that does
| anything.
|
| In the meanwhile, if you or anyone can come up with a nice, easy,
here's the
| answer--set this bit to "1." that'd sure be good.
|
| Thanks for giving it a shot.
| Let's not give up yet.
|
| So all you guru's who know everything about everything, help,
help, help.
|
| I guess it won't hurt to uninstall the video drivers, reinstall
the ones
| that came with windows, and then put them back on--- but still,
it doesn't
| make sense: why is it just this profile and only this
profile/username in
| which they are not on the screen?

| sunslight,
|
| Sometimes my Quick launch icons slip down below the screen. Run
your
| cursor down as far as you can, and see if you get any tool tips
for the
| icons. Also, try dragging the Quick launch toolbar up to make
it a
| double decker. Sometimes I can make them showup that way.
Don't know
| why it happens, but sometimes those little arrows appear on the
toolbar.
| Click the arrows, and get a menu of the Quicklaunch icons. I
suspect
| it's a problem with the Display adapter, but it doesn't happen
very
| often. Hope this helps.
