Quick launch question for the quick-witted

[Zengirl]

....ie, not me.

Hello.

Can somebody help me with this annoying problem. My hairstyle. No,
apart from that there is this quick launch problem. I set it
(taskbar-properties-show quick launch) and apply. Then after I shut
down and start up again it always isn't set. it's liveable with if
nothing can be done, but so annoying. i've checked in McAfee and
System mechanic to see if I've accidentally set quick launch to always
switch off at shut down but can see nothing there. Does anyone have an
answer to this question? Would I need a program that tracks registry
changes so I can see what is being altered when I set it so I can
permanently set quick launch to be on view?

So frustraaaaating!

Zengirl.

A little off-topic for an Access newsgroup, but hey...the hair comment made
me laugh...

What sort of rights do you have to your machine? Users? Power Users?
Administrators?

Oh so that's it! <grin> Sorry. The newsgroups I've frequented to date
have been alt.cracks and alt.music.queen and since I bought this new
machine I've had this problem, and I didn't know where to go for help.

I've asked friends, programmers, hackers, searched the web, gone onto
forums (erch) and written notices. I thought, what next? Ahah -
microsoft newsgoup... erm.. but which one? Ah, "public access getting
started"... good, it's open for the public. (Did I mention my hair
colour? - it's a lighter shade of blonde..)

But you seem like a helpful kind of Kevin.

What sort of rights do you have to your machine?

ALL POSSIBLE RIGHTS.

Users?

Me? Never!

Power Users?

Power? Yes, always.

Administrators?

????

Well, to answer your question seriously I am the one and only
user/owner/administrator/gamer/e-mailer/evil puppet master of this
computer. No-one else gets a look-in. I've even disabled the log off
option. It's just me, me, me here - and that's the way I like it.

But now what?

I just booted up again after an evening with friends in London and
gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no quick launch as usual.


W..w...w..wwwhhhyyyyyy?

That was my best guess....

See if you can add your user name to the administrators group...

Right-click the "My Computer" icon, select Manage and drill down into Users
and Groups. Add your logon name to the Admin group, if you can.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

Thanks to all who responded.

I *think* what I had to do in the end was download a registry file to
make my computer remember the settings after I shut down. However,
after I installed this file and re-booted it *still* didn't work.. and
then the second time, after more fiddling around in folder options it
did. (?????!!!!!?????)

Computers!

But I'm happy now at least.
