This symptom can occur if you do not have a Quick Launch folder.
If this is the problem you can resolve it by using Windows Explorer
to create a folder named "Quick Launch" (without the quotes) at the
following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

If you cannot find the Application Data folder (and subfolders)
use Folder Options to configure your computer to "display hidden
and system files". For more information search the Windows XP
Professional Help and Support Center for the words in double-quotes
and read the Suggested Topic by that title.

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article addresses the
issue for Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0:

"Welcome Back Quick Launch Toolbar!"

Ok People here goes and from what I understand this is the silver bullet to the Quick Launch gone missing dilemma

Go to: http://www.criticalnexus.com/resources/

and click on the winxp_cannot_create_toolbar.reg and download the reg file use this regedit to fix your problem and you should be set.

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

From what I'm to understand seems that adaware/search & destroy people were overzelous in their registry editing efforts and they helped to remove an essential key

Enjoy!

Wish I could take credit for this, but unfortunately I can't. Koudos to the person that found the fix! Job Well Done!
