Lost Windows Vista Quick Launch Toolbar. Need Help.


Hello there.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on my computer and just recently
I lost my Quick Launch toolbar. I tried re-activating it by right
clicking on the toolbar area and selecting it from properties but
nothing happens. Tried rebooting the computer as well and nothing. It
seems it totally erased from my system. Now, I read through some of the
other posts before and saw that going back to a previous restore point
would work for most people but my computer wont let me, it gives me the
"unspecified error" thing every time. I'm running Norton 2008 on my PC
and I saw that for some other person that was the issue. Can someone
tell me step by step how they fixed their problem. How exactly or what
exactly did you disactivate from your Norton to allow for the restore
point option to work? Thanks!! Hope someone can help.

Re: Lost Windows Vista Quick Launch Toolbar. Need Help.

when you right-click the taskbar, is there a listing named "toolbars"?
if so, select it, and then select "quicklaunch".

afa78,

Open Windows Explorer, navigate to
C:\Users\YOUR-ACCOUNT\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
Is there a 'Quick Launch' folder? There should also be the default 'Quick
Launch' folder at C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer.

Yup, tried that and nothing happens. When I hit apply and ok, it still
doesnt appear and so I go back to "toolbars" - "properties" and it's
uncheck as if I hadn't done anything before.
