    Vista Quick Launch Bar Won't Launch Programs

    Several of my programs (like iTunes, wonder why), won't launch from
    the quick launch bar. I click them, and I get the wait circle thingie
    for a second or two, then nothing. Programs open fine from the Start
    Menu or Windows Explorer, though, And removing them from QLB and re-
    adding them doesn't work.

    Hi Randy,

    Did you delete the old shortcuts and create new ones directly from the exe file?

    If whatever you create a shortcut from gets moved or deleted, then the shortcut will lose it's association amd not work anymore. That is why it is best to create a shortcut directly from the EXE file. It usually does not get moved or deleted by mistake.

    Quick Launch

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
