Re: Toolbar changes disappear on re-boot

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

System restore, not to mention 'last known good' make any registry change worries pretty slim.

Uh, in what way's (if any) can running that tool muck up my computer if things don't go as planned? Any chance I'll be spending hours trying to make it usable again?

Thanks.

My guess would be you have some permissions error in the Registry:

OK. I tried the following:

First, I UNchecked "Lock the Taskbar"
Then I made the desired changes to the taskbar.

Shouldn't I then be able to RE-lock the Taskbar?

I did all of that, but on re-booting, the changes were lost.

Thanks.

Rightclick the taskbar and UNcheck the "Lock the Taskbar" item.

Vista Business SP1

Changes that I make to the toolbar at the bottom of the screen disappear the next time I boot up. Specifically, I add the Address window (by right clicking the toolbar, highlighting Toolbars, and checking Address). I also rearrange the order of some of the icons on the Quick Launch bar.

Next boot up, the Address window is gone, and the Quick Launch icons are back in the original order.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
