The Quick Launch bar, like the Links bar (also handy - try it sometime)
is an optional part of the Windows Taskbar. You can turn the Quick
Launch bar and the Links bar on and off with the Toolbars flyout on the
Taskbar's context menu (what you get when you right click a blank area
on the Taskbar).

I can't separate my Quick Launch bar from my Windows XP Taskbar. Is it
possible you are troubled by the Taskbar being at the top edge of your
display? Are you troubled by the Taskbar appearing in front of
application windows?

You might need to unlock the task bar to relocate it to the display edge
where you like it. On the Taskbar's context menu click on the line
that says "Lock the Taskbar IF there is a check mark beside the "L". You
should then be able to drag the Taskbar to whichever display edge you
are comfortable with. You should also be able to drag the edge of the
Taskbar to change its height (width if you like it at the side of the
display).

The Taskbar's context menu also offers a "Properties" pop up with
several menus for the "start" button and the rest of the Taskbar.

Grab it by a blank part to drag it, not by the "top part".
Ensure the Taskbar is unlocked.

You can drag it back to the bottom by placing the cursor on an empty space
on the taskbar, press and hold down the left mouse button, drag it back to
the bottom and release the mouse button. If you're unable to get to the
taskbar with the cursor due to "Autohide" being enabled and it won't slide
back out, press the "Windows" key on the keyboard to slide it out.

If the above fails to work, please inform us of exactly everything you
attempted to "manipulate in various ways".

Windows 98 does not include the option to lock the taskbar.
