JS,
In looking through the solutions listed, nothing fit exactly, but I did try
something different from what I had before based on what you sent and it did
work! I'm not sure that what I was doing before should have been a problem,
but if you can let me know, I would appreciate it.
To show the Quick Launch toolbar, I was right clicking on the "START"
button, going to properties and then the "Taskbar" tab and then clicking on
the "Show Quick Launch" box. This is how I always turned the Quick Launch
on.
To fix it, I right clicked on the task bar, went to Toolbars and clicked on
Quick Launch. I rebooted several times and the Quick Launch came up every
time.
Thanks for your help!
