where the heck the 'quicklaunch or quick launch or quick-launch' bloody folder is located in the
maze that xp is??

i used its stupid 'search' facility and it cant find a damn thing,,,, why oh why did billy boy
make it soooooo bloody difficult to find a simple folder etc. better yet, why hide the bloody
thing in the first place.. a thing that all/most computer users would want to use?

A quick Google would have told you the answer.

%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\[your-username]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

You may need to have hidden files enabled (I don't remember and the XP box
isn't on right now). The option to enable/disable hidden files is in
Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab.

"%userProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

Also, drop the dotty language.

C:\Documents and Settings\"User Name"\Application

I only found the answer out earlier when I researched and answered the
question. Any idea why it should be in an Internet Explorer folder? That
doesn't seem logical.

Perhaps the Microsoft in a parallel universe crafted their operating systems
in a logical way but not in this one. ;-)

No, I have no idea why MS put things where they did.

or More to the bloody point,, Why doesnt it show up in Any kind of Search using xp's bloody search
facility? its not like its got nuclear secrets.
Win98 is Soooo much more friendly in finding things,, its all so easy.

also, where the bloody hell is the 'send to' folder in xp??
(i gather ppl still use context menus....... yes? then why too isnt that easy to find;; someone
told me xp re-named it just to be annoying,, is this so?) i constantly put things in and out of
my 'send to ' folder for the benefit of having them accessable via a r/click and subsequent menu
list of options. (same with q/launch... i put things in for maybe a month while i'm doing
something, then i might simply take it out when i'm finished etc.. i'd hate to be a newcomer to
computing nowadays,, because if you didnt at least grow up using 98, then your Stuffed!!!!!

The "Quick Launch" folder *does* show up in the results for a search.
You must be doing it incorrectly. My guess is that you neglected to
check the box next to "Search hidden files and folders."

P.S. Please adjust your word wrap to no more than 72 characters. Thank
you.
