Quick launch toolbar changes size

Each time I boot up Windows 98SE, My quick launch toolbar shrinks so that I
can see only four of the eight icons in the toolbar. The order of the icons
is also changed. To fix the toolbar, I must drag it to the right and
rearrange the icons every time I boot up. Is there a way to fix this without
re-installing Windows?

Sure. Make it bigger and set it to autohide.

When arranged the whay you want it, rightclick on an emty part of the
taskbar and check 'Lock the Taskbar'.

Make *what* bigger? The Task Bar? Double height?

I realy do think your reply should appear here. His answer was wrong.

My reply to what? The original question? The answer, as far as I know,
is "If Lock Taskbar" doesn't do it, I doubt it can be done.

Right, the task bar. OP complained that his QuickLaunch toolbar kept
"shrinking" so that he could only see four of the eight icons thereon.
One way to fix it is to give the taskbar more real estate.

Now, I know people are fixated on an itsy bitsy taskbar at the bottom of
the CRT - one that is always there - so I suggested he make the taskbar
bigger and set it to auto hide so it wouldn't be in his way but always
available.

Apparently, Dave D disagrees with me. So who cares, haven't seen an
answer from him and apparently he hasn't bothered to try it.

His answer was wrong.

So tell the OP whatever you think is correct. I repeat, tried it?
