I see suggestions to repair XP with the XP CD but the only CDs I have are
the recovery CDs and those are just images of the HD as it came from the
factory. I tried to Uninstall XP service Pack 1 (SP1) and reinstalled it,
hoping this would flush this thing but no change. I also read that MS is
aware of this, so hopefully we'll see a fix in SP2???

You don't realize how much you use the quick launch till you don't have it!

Thanks,
Rob
