Where does Windows save taskbar toolbar configurations?

[Guest]

Hi,
I have many desktop/taskbar toolbars (deskbands) on my desktop, generally
having either program or folder shortcuts in them. But in rare occasions,
these get mangled, or jammed. I understand that these are saved while
shutting down the windows (in Saving your settings section) but I am unable
to find where all these toolbars configurations are being saved? Such as
positions and names etc.

Thanks

The info is stored in binary format under the following key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

In the values named 'TaskbarWinXP' (controls the taskbar & any toolbars added to it) and 'Toolbars'
(toolbars that are not part of the taskbar)
