IE problems in XP

[Guest]

When I first turn on computer or reboot, IE automatically comes up and I
cannot find anything in startup in msconfig or ini files or startup folders
that would tell it to do that. Then it seems I don't have complete control
over my IE. I get lots of popups and it keeps resetting my security settings
to a higher level. Eventually it hangs and I cannot even use the
taskmanager. I use Adaware regularly and delete bad things that show up in
hijackthis. Somehow this will not go away. Please any ideas?

Hello,

I've got WinXP Pro SP2 here at work. My home PC has WinXP Home Edition (a
few years old--has been updated to SP2). On the both PCs, I have "Desktop"
and "Quick Launch" toolbars active.

However on the home PC, I am able to turn the display of the folder name
OFF--at work I'm NOT able to. At home, the first 4 icons in each folder are
shown and if I need one of the others, I click on the appropriate arrow
button and the list comes up. At work, NONE of the icons show up.

In addition, I've got a second PC at home which is running WinXP Home
Edition SP2 (purchased last October). It does the SAME as the other home
PC--except that the "Quick Launch" toolbar won't move away from the Start
Menu--I like the Desktop and QL toolbars over next to the System Tray and
that's where I've kept them since Win98 when toolbars first came out (or the
first time I saw them anyway).

My last work PC was Win2k Pro and it did EXACTLY what I want to do with
respect to these toolbars. How do I force this new PC to do the same?

TIA!

You need to start a new thread. You have posted this as a reply to a non
related subject. Pick "new article" and use Quick Launch (or something
descriptive of your problem) as your subject line.
Your problem is curable...

Yeah I just realized that I did that. I thought I had created a new thread.
Sorry all.
