Hi Dan,
This is caused by a malware named BlazeFind. Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
In the right-pane, change the value of Userinit to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,"
Type the above value exactly as given, including the comma - exclude the quotes. Change the Path for Windows folder if installed in a different drive/directory.
Close Registry Editor and restart Windows. The Quick Launch settings should be retained now.

Greetings,
Recently, Quick Launch dissapeared after reboot. I can
always make it show, but it dissapears again after
restart. Quite annoying . . .
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks a lot!
