Quick Launch Bar

T

Tyler Beckett

Every time I restart the computer my Quick Launch bar
goes into a disorganized arrangement. I then put it back
into alphabetical order. However, next time I use the
Logoff or any other option other then Switch, it always
reverts back to the disorganized arrangement. Any ideas?

Tyler,

Open Registry Editor [regedit.exe] and go to this location:

NOTE: Backup the registry keys before modifying. Use the File > Export option to backup the key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
Set NoSaveSettings value to 0. Repeat the same for this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Restart Windows.

If this does not help, get the Taskbar Repair tool:
