Quick Launch Toolbar question

[Joy]

Back again with another question for my friend I'm trying to help. Is there
a difference in what the Quick Launch Toolbar contains between WinXP and
WinXP-Classic? Mine shows IE, OE, WinExplorer, Show Desktop, & Window Media
Player. (I've got my WinXP set on Classic). His Quick Launch does not have
the Show Desktop Option; can't remember what else. I was concerned about
that feature in particular, though.

If you just want to create the show desktop icon on his quick launch
you can follow the directions in the link below.

BTW, the quick launch should not be any different between the two
display settings.

They start out the same, but you can drag icons on and off the QL bar as
desired.

Just put whatever you want on the QuickLaunch bar. To restore the Show
Desktop icon run the edit on Kelly's site:

Line 61: Restore/Add Show Desktop to Quick Launch Bar

See the top of the page for info on running the edit.

Thank you all very much! I'm printing all 3 of your replies and will take
them to friend's house next time I'm working on his computer.

Hi Shelly,

She was having some troubles with it, but I think it's fixed now.

Hmm..not for me.

The site was having problems yesterday. It was the result of the online
hit counter causing popup's which caused the page not to load for some.

I guess I didn't attempt an access when it wasn't working.

I saw one anomaly though. In a previous post you mentioned tweak line
383. I only see up to 382. I guess I don't deserve more, eh? lol

Sure you do, just refresh. )

When I go to to that website, it redirects me to casinos, poker palaces, etc.
I do not appreciate this AT ALL. The first page looks okay, but it
immediately switches to the gambling places.

That's not Kelly's site, your PC is compromised.

Just to elaborate on Bob I's excellent advice to you - your computer is
infested with malware. You did not get it from Kelly's site. Clean up
your computer and then worry about your QuickLaunch Bar. There's a good
chance the malware messed up the QL Bar anyway.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically:

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this - then take your machine to a professional computer repair shpo
(not your local version of BigStoreUSA).

How do I increase the size of the icons on the QL bar?
