Quick launch task bar size and order changing on restart

When I start my computer my Quick Launch bar shrinks in size to the point
where none of my Quick Launch application icons are visible. I unlock the
task bar and drag it so my program icons are visible and rearrange the icons
to my preference and lock it . When I restart my computer the quick launch
bar reverts to the size where my program icons are not visible and they are
rearranged again. What can I do to get the Quick launch bar to remain how I
set it up? Vista Ultimate with all updates.
Thanks,
Bob

RE: Quick launch task bar size and order changing on restart

I am having the same identical issue and I am unable to find a fix on the
internet. Every fix I have come across has to do with regedit v. 5.0 and
Windows Business Ultimate (at least mine) with all updates is V. 6.0

Re: Quick launch task bar size and order changing on restart

Your taskbar settings are stored in the registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
Try deleting this key, then configuring the taskbar the way you want it,
then rebooting.
The key will be recreated when you shut down and should retain your settings
on rebooting.
If this doesn't fix it, I'm of no use to you.

Good luck

DD
