the quick launch disappeared. I restarted my machine and yet it was still
missing. the odd thing was all my logins and passwords were dleted as well.

i went to the properties section and ticked quick launch hit apply nothing
happened. it ok and still nothing happened. so i went back into properties
and it was untick even though i had ticked it hit apply and ok. it seems it
will not register the accpetance. i have restarted my machine several times
btu nothi seems to bring it back

please help.. thanks
 
Start>Programs>Accessories>Run> sfc /scannow

Run that command, and see if it fixes file errors.
 
The other thing to try is a System Restore to before the problem.
Start >Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
 
hhmm the odd thing is my machine has never allowed a system restore. it goes
through the process reboots then says it cannot do it no matter which date i
set it to.
 
Hi,

Set folder options/view tab to see hidden and system files/folders. Then
check to see that this folder exists (I'm thinking that it doesn't) and if
not, create it.

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Hi,

You can find copies of the missing "show desktop" and "switch between
windows" here:

C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Simply copy and paste them to the folder you just created.

A tip for the future! If you are using Norton, disable it before trying to do
a SR.
If probs persist, do a SR in Safe Mode.

before.. any other suggestions..

thanks so far
