Quick Launch Toolbar in wrong place
Using Windows 98SE, I temporarily closed the Quick Launch Toolbar by right
clicking the taskbar, selecting Toolbars and unchecking Quick Launch Toolbar. After I re-enabled the Quick Launch Toolbar, it isn't located where it previously was. Initially, it was just to the right of the Start button (which is at the lower left corner of the screen). After closing and then reopening the Quick Launch Toolbar, it opened at the right of the taskbar, just left of the task tray. If I drag the Quick Launch Toolbar to the left, it stops an inch or so before the Start button and won't go any further. There is a space in the taskbar between the Start button and the Quick Launch Toolbar. When I have programs open, the taskbar icons for the open programs are now to the LEFT of the Quick Launch Toolbar, not to the right as they have always been. The program icons are in the space between the Start button and the Quick Launch Toolbar. How do I move the Quick Launch Toolbar back to its original position just to the right of the Start button? I should note that I have the taskbar set to one row high, I have no other Toolbars selected and have not created any custom toolbars. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this. I've looked on the MS KB and found nothing. Can someone help me, please? Thank you. John |

John When it (the Quick Launch Toolbar) stops, you should just ignore that fact and just keep dragging the mouse to the left. The QLT will suddenly jump back into place, even if you have program icons on the Taskbar. The QLT will jump right over them and all will be well again. |

You *almost* had it. You have to "bump" the bar you're dragging when it
gets to that point where it will go no further, causing it to "jump" the main portion of the Taskbar reserved for applications buttons. Takes practice--be patient. Pretend you're moving the little bar you're dragging to the spot right next to the Start button, and don't take no for an answer. -- Gary S.

John,
Move your mouse next to the right of the Taskbar slider, that is near Start button, and hold down left mouse button. Your cursor has to turn to the four-arrows one (probably you'll be need to try that not once -- to catch this region); when it will -- move Taskbar straight to the right, over the head of QuickLaunch bar, and release mouse button. Resize Taskbar after that, using its left slider. -- Mikhail Zhilin http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.

Gary, Hugh and Mikhail,
Thanks to all of you for the quick replies and the "fix." Like so much with PCs and Windows, it's all so easy when you know how to do it. John "Mikhail Zhilin" wrote in message ...

It's not easy at all, in this case, g. Some systems it's easy, some
it's not, and in some it's too *danged* easy, and you're forever accidentally screwing up the Taskbar/Toolbar configuration. I like that in WinXP, you can Lock the taskbar and prevent accidental rearranging or resizing.. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "John Blaustein" wrote in message ...

Also, in the cases of having behemoths such as Norton, McAfee, AOL and some
others the problems seem to lie with these programs as compared to actually having Windows problems. Even some BSOD (Blue Screens Of Death) can be caused by driver problems in third party hardware such as a Creative sound problem. These BSOD used to be more frequent with older pcs. "Gary S.

Reinstalled Windows on top -- with no result. Was thinking about re-installing Windows from scratch (I hate this operation, particularly when system is living in general), but fortunately mentioned two-pixels line at the border where Taskbar supposed to be.
