Quicklaunch Setting can not be saved after clean

After doing a clean (didn't do anything advanced) when I reboot the quicklaunch bar has to be re-enabled to show. I tried doing a restore of the backup and got an error (i'm using this on a work laptop xp pro sp2 that is locked down in some areas).

I've looked in the registry by doing a search without success to find any key related to quicklaunch.

Any suggestions?

Welcome Lionel

Have a look at my situation with Quicklaunch on my XP Pro system:

Thanks - just read thru that topic. I'd rather not invest the $5 but if that is what it takes.

It seems someone should be able to tell which registry setting needs to be fixed.

I ran across this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555525

it may help you (and others) - sadly it didn't help me

That's why I invested the $5.00 because it is worth it to me because it fixes quite a few other things as well.

I just ordered it and am waiting the activation key myself.

hello everone and good day to you i am new on the forum but i have been reading them for some time now

and i was reading all the post about the quicklaunch bar and i know what the problem is and how to fix it i have to

look up the info and write the problem and the fix and best of all it will not cost anything but if you check back on the post or i may have to post it by it self im not sure but i will be posting it in the next day or two and you will see why when i post it as to was it is and i will also tell you in that post more of why i had to come back with it thanks arkie

I look forward to your post.

I used the taskbarplus and it returned the quicklaunch bar *but* the bar now always opens with only 3 icons and I have to manually expand it with each reboot. I can not get it remember the settings (i've tried several registry hacks with no joy)
