Despite rearranging the icons in the order I like them, the order of the icons on my quick launch bar changes everytime I relogin. Is there a way to fix the order in which they appear?
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Arranging the icons by name, modified or type etc. does not seem to effect the way they are listed on the Quick Launch bar. They seem to be arranged there, alphabetically.
This link will offer you a Fix to adjust the Sort order to your liking.
As to what the code of the fix does I am not qualified to say, other than it may fix your problem. Even the people who are clever enough to write such fixes sprinkle their sites with ample disclaimers. There is a risk any time you enter the Registry.
What I can say is that any Registry Fixes coming from either "Doug's" or "Kelly's" sites are very professional and top drawer. They have helped numerous people all over the World with their fixes, as well as at this forum. I have never seen anything but compliments regarding these two people.
Is usually not present, or is enabled with a value of "1", and in that case the autoarrange keys are set to "1" or yes as a result on startup.
The change Doug Knox suggested in linney's link is to tell XP that you prefer in some cases to have your arrangement rather than an autoarrangement. It is perfectly safe to do. If you have issues, change the "0" in the little .vbs script with notepad to a "1" and run it again.
