quick launch toolbar

[biwood]

I am unable to create a quick launch toolbar. It tells
me "cannot create toolbar" when I right click on the
toolbar and go to toolbars. Somehow after having a lot
of problems recently with my computer, I no longer can
create a quick launch. Any suggestions?

What steps are you taking? Are you right clicking on the

lowest bar and opening properties/Customize?Set defaults?

Common issue as of late and I am still working on it. Try the steps
provided here under Quick Launch.

Also, if this happened after running a cleaner and you have the most recent
logfiles, send them to me via email.

This symptom can occur if you do not have a Quick Launch folder.
If this is the problem you can resolve it by using Windows Explorer
to create a folder named "Quick Launch" (without the quotes) at the
following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

If you cannot find the Application Data folder (and subfolders)
use Folder Options to configure your computer to "display hidden
and system files". For more information search the Windows XP
Professional Help and Support Center for the words in
double-quotes and read the Suggested Topic by that title.

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article addresses the
issue for Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0:

According to many posts by "Ramesh [MVP]", this problem may
be cause by Blazefind or any other malware (that modifies the
"Userinit" registry value). For more information use Google
Advanced Groups Search to search for:
