Quick launch taskbar will not show on start up

[Guest]

Just lately my quick launch taskbar does not appear on startup. To get it to show up I need to right click the taskbar, then click quick launch, then click lock the taskbar. This must be done each time I restart the computer or turn it on. This just started to happen, I have using XP Pro for sometime now. Thanks for any help.

I recently enountered the exact same thing in the last two
weeks right after several security patches were posted on
the Windows Update site and I installed them. I have
additional toolbars in my taskbar in addition to the Quick
Launch toolbar. They all disappear after this problem is
triggered.

From my testing, it appears that if I do certain things on
my computer like installing/uninstalling or clearing
cache, Windows forgets who I am and several things stop
working. After that point, the toolbars are gone when you
reboot.

Other symptoms this problem has occurred BEFORE reboot and
the toolbars disappear:
- Cannot open any "list" views off the Start button (e.g.,
My Documents and My Recent Documents won't do anything)
- Recently used file list area is black directly above
Start button.
- Cannot move icons within my toolbars on the taskbar.
- Emptying recycle bin doesn't work normally.


I'm curious if others have encountered the same symptoms.
Does Microsoft ever monitor these newsgroups?

Quick Launch: Gives error message, Cannot Create Toolbar

Either download the .reg or .vbs from here or run my utility listed below it
to correct.
Note: If you already have my utility downloaded, you will need to
re-download for the added fix.

Dan,

You have many issues going on here and they do not sound update related.
