Hi,

I am running WinXP Pro and everytime I restart my computer
it does not retain the "Lock Taskbar" setting and it also
adds the "Search Assistant" toolbar to the taskbar.

I reset everything and remove the search assistant but it
doesn't seem to remember on restart.


I've checked for viruses and don't seem to have any... I'm
lost as to what to do.

Does any one have any suggestions?

Renee,

The "Search Assistant" bar is a malware, and it seems to reset the Taskbar settings.

Type the command in RUN box.
Regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\System32\omniband.dll

Then, rename C:\Windows\System32\omniband.dll to old omniband.dll and restart Windows.

Download all the spyware cleaners and run them.

If the Taskbar preferences are not saved, apply the fix 240 at Kelly's site:

If nothing helps, run this program and post the Log file here:
