Guest Trish Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Hi, I am using XP Professional. On my Task Bar (immediately to the right of the Start button) I have a few icons, and IE7 was definitely there, but has suddenly disappeared. It has not disappeared as an unused icon, as I use it all the time! How can I get it back there, and any suggestions as to why it disappeared? Many thanks. Trish
Guest Ron Badour Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Task Bar The area to the immediate right of the taskbar is called Quick Launch which can contain your most frequently used shortcuts. I think you are saying that just the IE7 shortcut is missing. If so, do you have an IE7 shortcut on the desktop? If not, look for one on the start menu. Right click the taskbar and remove the mark from Lock the Taskbar (assumes it is marked). A divider will appear separating the taskbar from QuickLaunch (QL). If there is insufficient room for a shortcut to the left of the divider, left click it and drag it over to the right. Then right click the IE7 shortcut, drag it to QL and release. Select copy here. Relock the taskbar. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Trish" <Trish@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4DB3D46A-5894-4D74-8470-6A4C51498B65@microsoft.com... > Hi, I am using XP Professional.

Trish > It is usually on the Quick Launch toolbar, (along with Media Player, show desktop etc.), not the System tray which you are refering to. Right-click on the Task Bar, go to Toolbars and see if Quick Launch is ticked, if it is you might have accidentally deleted it from the Quick launch toolbar. All you need do is drag a shortcut for IE7 to the Quick Launch toolbar area to create a new one.

On my Task Bar (immediately to the right of > the Start button) This is called the "Quick Launch Bar." It contains shortcuts to start programs. Note that, although it appears *on* the Task Bar by default, it is not actually part of it, and can be dragged off it and docked on another side of the screen if you prefer. > I have a few icons, and IE7 was definitely there, but has > suddenly disappeared.

Trish You can add any shortcut you want to the Quick Launch Bar by simply dragging it there. If you have an IE7 shortcut on the desktop, drag it there. If you don't have one, create one on the desktop, then drag it there. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
