Quick start broken and freezes computer

[Chad Harris]

I'm using Win XP Pro SP1 and IE6 SP1. Everything working well, but all of a
sudden *when I click the Quick Launch part of the task bar, I get a freeze,
maximum CPU and I can't bring up the shortcuts there.* I searched but maybe
missed a fix on Kelly's or Doug Knox's site. I also couldn't find a regedit
at Winguides to help or in Jerry Honeycutt's book.

I haven't made any significant changes to my knowledge, although I did
follow steps in this article to look at what would come up when I put
"dcomcnfg" in the run box, and it turned on MS DTC which seemed to slow
things down (might not have been cause) so I turned this off. What does MS
DTC do? Could this have any connection (doubt it) to my problem with the
quick launch part of the task bar. I've checked settings in taskbar
properties (no help); I've checked that I don't have the taskbar
locked--locked and unlocked it; and I've rebooted several times with no help
from that.

Would appreciate very much help in fixing this. I can't access quick launch
shortcuts and have to just type them in manually to reach them with IE.

Tia,

Chad Harris

Hi Chad,

See if this helps. Start/Run: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

and this has done the trick consistently. I wonder if there is a list of
these *magic commands in the run box that you are able to use so effectively
to fix a wide variety of problems* and how to context them. They seem to
be one more very effective tool besides the regedits and VB scripts in the
Tweaks section on your site. Do they cause regedits or just correct a
corrupt .dll or a .dll that isn't registered.

Appreciate the specific effective help as always.

Most welcome, Chad. As for that particular command, for many users
depending on other edits, it restores use of the Quick Launch icons. As per
your question, some of it can be answered here:

Have seen some of this before, but knew I wouldn't know the context for all
the commands. I'm going to spend more time with this more carefully, and
appreciate it plus the excellent links on your site. *Some* of the Win 9X
run box commands must extrapolate to XP. *My 64 dollar question* is that
while I understand the regsvr32 command reregisters .dlls, how do you know
*which commands register which.dlls to fix which specific problem--I see
you use them often and is their a site or book reference. Appreciate there
is so much good info and so many great links in A-Z. Also and this may not
be the sharpest question, are their a number of factors that can cause them
to become unregistered, and if they are shared how can one be specific so
that you don't negatively impact or change other .dlls or can registering
one .dll affect a number of situations since they are libarary items that
are shared?

Sorry for long question. Thanks for the nice help.

Hi Chad,

Will try to do a write-up for you, when I have the extra time. Am in the
middle of a move right now. :o) Drop me a note after the 15th.

Trial and error. Chose a likely dll, regsvr it, see what happens. Only =
COM dlls can be registered (or installed). Many standard system ones are =
both normal dlls and Com dlls.

[Chad Harris]

That would be tremendous Kelly. I am trying to context these commands some
reasonable amount of understanding"--just so even if I can't have a lot of
facility with them, I can at least understand a bit what they are for.

Thanks very much for your help and time when it's convenient. Thanks much
for the info David.

Thanks for the tip David. It's always an excellent site with great apps; I
will. Hope it will extrapolate into knowing which commands to use when.

Search google for regsvr32, what it puports to do will give you an idea =
of what does what, then trial and error. PS exe that register use (eg =
winword)
winword /reg (sometimes /r or /register)

Non applications that are exe files (out of process servers that can't =
be used stand alone) just running them does it - rare these days.
