Quick Launch & Status Bar promblem with SP2

[Ultra]

After installing Windows XP SP2 on my machine, my quick launch bar
dissapears everytime I restart my computer. Also in Windows Explorer the
status bar dissapears every time I visit a new folder. I'm guessing that
perhaps the 2 problems are related (perhaps missing registry key?)

With respect to the quick launch bar, I can simply get it back and 'lock the
task bar' to keep it there, but after reset it is gone again.

With my status bar problem I have tried the view, status bar followed by
tools, folder options, apply to all folders as well as some other ideas but
no luck yet.

Anyone know how I can fix this. It's really annoying me.
Thnx,
Danny.

Verify the userinit value in the registry.

Quick Launch settings are not saved; Search Assistant Toolbar in =
Taskbar:=20
