It is not as easy as one would think. Got any ideas?

Start>Run>Regedit>ok
now navigate to the following key:-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\ClassicShell

You can enable the quick launch icons by setting the above registry
entry to 1.

It is valid. You need to add the entry "ClassicShell" as a new key
and set it to 1 as Mr. Sengupta has stated.

That is going to force the classic shell for many other purposes, and
is not needed to enable QL. Rather set up toolbars etc as you want
them, and export the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\
{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Enum

and import on the target machines

Enabling Quicklaunch changes the 'Implementing' value in that
