Quick Launch toolbar missing

[delorfra]

Hi,

I had the following problem : whenever I restarted windows, my quick launch toolbar kept disappearing : the toolbar was no more checked after startup. Besides, It behaved stangely : whenever I resized the height of the toolbar, icons would disappear but were back when the toolbar was disabled and enabled again.

I tried Kelly's Korner "taskbar repair tool" but to not avail (

And finally, the following trick worked for me (I spent so much time surfing the web looking for the right solution that I wanted to share it).

copy the reg key :

"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\Default Taskbar"

to:

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\Taskbar"

(for XP RTM)

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\TaskbarWinXP"

(for XP SP1) (to be safe copy it to both locations)

Thanks to Alex Verboon for the solution :
