My sister has a problem with her machine (running Win XP
Pro) - everytime the machine is restarted, the Quick
Launch bar disappears. You have to keep telling Windows
to show the toolbar after logging back in to each user.

Why??
 
At least you can get it back, most of us can't... We get "Can't Create
Toolbar" Error messsage when trying to show the toolbar. Ours started
around 6/30 and no one can figure it out.
 
In Registry Editor (Start > Run... > regedit), navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Name: Userinit

Data: %system32%\wsaupdater.exe,

%system32% represents the path to the System32 folder. For example, if
the path is C:\Windows\System32, then the data would be

C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe,

Instead of wsaupdater.exe, the data should contain userinit.exe,.
Using the example above, the data would be

C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe,

Do not forget to add the comma at the end.

Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer. Problem solved.
