Taskbar search assistant

[Tony Sellick]

I am running Windows XP home edition. Suddenly I have a
situation where, every time the computer boots up, the
search assistant appears on the right of the taskbar and
many of the quick launch icons on the left are not
visible. I right click and get rid of it but when I boot
up again it comes back. Each time I have to get rid of it
then unlock the taskbar and reveal the "missing" quick
launch icons. Its driving me mad:-( Has anyone any ideas
how to fix this please? The PC suddenly started doing
this. I don't recall doing anything to cause it. Many
thanks in anticipation.
