I have always loved the convienience of having the Quick Launch Toolbar.
However, recently mine has gone nuts! Everytime I reboot, it disappears! I
have set all the options to Show Quick Launch under Task Bar and Start Menu
Properties, but it always unchecks itself when I reboot. I have searched and
searched for the answer to this, can't find a clue. I installed TweakUI
hoping there'd be something in there that would fix it, no go.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Not only is it annoying not to have it
come up every time I reboot, but it's a PITA to have to rearrange the Quick
Launch icons as well. After using it for so long, well, my fingers have to
have them where they belong, you know??

I am running Windows XP Home, SP 1 and all current updates installed
2.0 Mhtz Pentium 4
512 MB DDR RAM

The only changes I have made recently was to format and reinstall Windows,
get all the Windows Updates and then install my usual software. But this
didn't start happening until a couple weeks post reinstall.

I sure hope one of you has an answer.

Thanks,

Wendy
