Quick launch

Tommy

Hi,
I've been trying to work on the quick launch toolbar
eversince it had disappeared the other day. When i tried
to click on the "Show Quick Launch" it will still remain
not shown. When i right click on the task bar and go to
toolbars section and press on "quick launch" an error
message pops up and say "Cannot create toolbar". I wonder
what could be wrong with my quick launch option?
Thank you for any replys.
Tommy

Ok, I'm having the same problem. All at once my quick
launch disappeared and I'm getting the same error
message. I have tried the 1st two suggestions. I don't
understand the HijackThis or the issue #3. Help. Thanks!

The top 2 suggestions did not work. I still cannot
create the toolbar. What is HijackThis?

Hi Tommy,

This behavior can occur if the Quick Launch folder has been deleted. To
resolve this issue, recreate the Quick Launch folder.
Create a folder named Quick Launch at the following location:

Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Create a folder named "Quick Launch" (without the quotes) at the following
location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\

Kelly,
I just posted this to another one in this group (hate to post twice) but
saw you were responding to this one. I have the same problem. It kept
rebooting with a profile permissions issue. If you hit OK or let the count
down timer expire, it just reboots. I had to start in safe mode, create a
new Admin account then updated my normal accout to hopefully write the
correct permissions. This seemed to work but no Quick Launch and when you
select it under properties, the check disapears when you reopen and if you
right click on the tack bar and go to toolbars, and select Quick Launch, it
states "Cannot Create Toolbar". Also, all the Toolbar fix stuff doesn't
work as they only look to see if the folder exists and if not, it creates
one. Well the folder does exist with all the shortcuts in it. I even
renamed the folder and let your "TaskBarRepairTool" create a new one with
the same results. Need help too. I to have Norton 2004 with the latest
update, ran SpyBot and AdWare 6.0. found nothing. I feel there is still
something lurking in my PC and I agree, this is alarming! Thanks, Rob

My quick launch folder already exists and I can see all
the icons that used to show up. If the quick launch
folder already exists, what next?

Hi,
First of all I would like to thank you all for the
replies. I have tried going through "Windows
Explorer\Documents and Settings\User
Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch" and my folder was there and i had tried running
the "Taskbar tool plus" and I clicked on the
option "Can't create error message" from the "Quick
Launch" section, a pop-up message said "Your Quick Launch
Folder already existed and was not recreated." I will not
try the rest of the ideas you gave me, just keep you
updated.
