"Quick Launch†tool bar does not reappear

[HaroldSJS]

I recently tried to use Firefox and run into some issues when I
deleted Firefox. I noticed a resulting problem from this deletion in; my
“Quick Launch†tool bar (just to the left of the “Start†button, that
contained the icon shortcuts for IE, Outlook, Windows Media Player) has
disappeared, even when I right click on the taskbar and go to “Toolbars†and
make sure that the menu choice is checked for “Quick Launch†is checked, it
does not reappear.

How do I get this chocie to reappear?

You may have accidently shrunk it into the side,

I would suggest, hiding it again and re-selecting it,

If this doesn't work, Then unlock your task bar and see if you can pull it
back out of the start butten

Hope this works for ya

I discovered the fix myself!

After the Quick Launch icon "dissappeared", I intsalled AIM on my PC. This
put an icon in the Quick Launch folder amd on the task bar. But this was the
only icon that I saw. I right clicked on the icon and saw the folder for the
Quick Launch icons. I went there and saw all of my icons, dimmed. I right
clicked on each on, and discovered that on the General Tab, the "hidden"
ckeck box was checked. I unchecked all of them and exited out. That fixed the
problem.

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention! Or in this case it is the mother of
fixing a problem.

I have posted alot of requests for help, in these MS community discussion
groups. With rare expception, I found the advice offered, led me down a dead
end. I guess what Fannie Lou Hamer said is true here - “I am sick and tired
of being sick and tired.†That is what forces idiots like myself, to search
out the right answers, and fix the problems that have been created (software
developers and companies) by people who are far more intelligent that myself.
When will the day come when software is does not cause problems when
installed? When will the day come when you can uninstall software, with out
it leaving a telltale remnant, that it was on your PC, by making applications
that were there before, minding thier own business, fail?

Something for you all to consider!
