Guest Gary McC Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 The quick launch tool bar is installed and working. I can start it from the Task Bar, but when I shut down my computer, it doesn't seem to save the setting. It has worked for years, but now I have to manually start the Quick Launch tool bar after I boot up. I have two other user profiles on this computer and they both work fine, and load on startup. Any ideas? Have tried deleting the Quick Launch tool bar, and creating a new one, but iit didn't help. This occurred around the time I installed PC Tools Spyware Doctor so I did a System Restore back to before I installed it and it made no difference. I also followed MS bulletin 55525, but it didn't fix the problem either. -- Gary, Saskatoon, SK

Guest Gary McC Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Re: Quick Launch Toobar doesn't load on startup in Windows XP Pro I am not certain about the solution on Kellys-korner - does this mean I should add the lines to the registry, as none of them exist now? -- Gary, Saskatoon, SK "Elmo" wrote: > Gary McC wrote: > > The quick launch tool bar is installed and working.

Yes, just right-click the _link_ to the file, save to the Desktop, then double-click the file. It should be merged into the registry. If not, right-click the file, click Merge. -- Joe =o)
Guest Gary McC Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Re: Quick Launch Toobar doesn't load on startup in Windows XP Pro Merged the file (lines) into the registry, re-booted and then opened the Quick Launch toolbar, the re-started and the problem still persists. -- Gary, Saskatoon, SK "Elmo" wrote: > Gary McC wrote: > > I am not certain about the solution on Kellys-korner - does this mean I > > should add the lines to the registry, as none of them exist now? > > Yes, just right-click the _link_ to the file, save to the Desktop, then > double-click the file.

Guest Gary McC Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Re: Quick Launch Toobar doesn't load on startup in Windows XP Pro There doesn'nt seem to be anything in the plus version that deal with the issue. What might be helpful is if I new which dll or exe file lauches the quick task toolbar. Obviously, something is preventing this file from loading or being saved in the my user profile. -- Gary, Saskatoon, SK "Elmo" wrote: > Gary McC wrote: > > Tried applicable items, but still no success. > > Kelly has many more helpful tweaks here, but some require the licensed > version of TaskbarPlus!

Maybe a permissions problem.. or software blocking changes to that portion of the registry. Do you have Spybot's TeaTimer running? If so, and it prompted for a change to the Taskbar and you clicked "Disallow", and "Remember this setting", that could prevent it from being written to the registry. Just one example of what some software could do. -- Joe =o)
