Quick Launch icons disappeared from desktop application toolbar
I have lost the "Quick Launch" icons, that should be next to Start on the
application toolbarfor my profile. I moused over the area, hoping it might pick something up, but no go. I checked the toolbar for Quick Launch to be selected. It is. I toggled it and the Compute on/off/on; still no Quick Launch. Quick launch is appearing in all other profiles, including "all users" as well as in safe mode. -- in safe mode, it is not giving me the opportunity to choose which user: I assume it is all users, since the QL that appears is the QL that is in the all users, QL floder. I copied the the QL folder for my username to the "all users" and it appears as it should, on the toolbar--of course, "all users" does not have the programs that my username does. I went back to my profile, selected from toolbar: new toolbar and the QL folder that should be appearing. It now appears on the application toolbar as a new application, which I have to go through lots of trouble to get to where I want--the desktop, various programs. I took an icon from the desktop that is (was) in the QL area of the toolbar and is in that folder; dragged it to the space where Quick Launch should be. I got a message box that said Quick Launch was already there, did I want to replace that QL with the new one? I chose "no." Rebooted. I tried the same again, but this time chose "yes." The icon disappeared from the desktop, but nothing appeared where Quick Launch should be on the toolbar--I just have an empty space on the desktop. --I had to go to Explorer and grab one of the shortcut icons from the Quick Launch folder and paste that back on to the desktop. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Is there something simple that I am missing? Is there a registry check or something in msconfig that should be turned on (1) but is turned off (0)? Any ideas, anyone? thanks, Bob T |
