Hello,

Thank you for your posting.

To enable Quicklaunch bar automatically, please refer to below steps:

1) Logon as a user and setup the Taskbar settings like you want it(Quick
Launch, Unlock Taskbar etc) then log off as that user so that changes get
made to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Stream
s\Desktop] "TaskbarWinXP"

2) Logon as same user as in step 1 above and then bring up regedit and
export the above hive out. And Logoff.

3) Logon as Administrator and then in a text editor bring up the reg key
that was saved out in step 2 above and make the following changes to it

Original HKCU key exported out in step 2:
=========================================
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Stream
s\Desktop]
"TaskbarWinXP"=hex: Snip, All binary data remains unchanged

Regkey after changes:
=====================
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Strea
ms\Desktop]
"Toolbars"=hex:11,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"Default Taskbar (Personal)"=hex: Snip, All binary data remains unchanged

4) Then apply the new HKLM regkey and each new user that logs onto the
system will get the settings to the taskbar that have been specified.

In addition, there is also a tool can enable Quicklunch bar, you can just
put it into login script. You can send a email to me at
(e-mail address removed) and I will send it to you.

Have a nice day!
