Next time I'll try this - but, if I understand correctly, this is for the
Desktop, not the Quick Launch.

Its for ALL icons the QL IS on the desktop



I don't understand the abreviations. Please explain further.

I had 8 or 9 sections with QuickLaunch icons in them. These are also
gone.
If I restore (as you've described below), will those sections
re-appear?
Each section has a certain type of QuickLaunch icons in them, i.e.
Backup,
Graphics, Disk Utilities, etc.

Yes as long as you don't go back to BEFORE you created the different
layers
of icons.
In windows 9x we used to delete the shelliconcache file and reboot to
rebuild the icons when corrupt.


The following maybe helpful.


Corrupted Icons

If the icons on your desktop are corrupted, you can reset them.

Search your system for a file called "IconCache.db". It will be hidden,
so
you will need to view hidden files to find it. The usual location is
Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data.
Once you have found it, delete it and reboot.
If the system will not let you delete it, reboot in to safe mode and do
it
from there and then reboot again.
When you login again, your icons should be recreated correctly.

This is similar to a trick performed on older operating systems where
you
delete a file called shelliconcache.

You can also do it with the TweakUI for Windows XP Powertoy, using the
repair icons function.

Frequently enough, I lose my QuickLaunch icons (all of them). Can
someone tell me where the setting is to restore them (from a

I
have over 140 icons and reconstructing them is a royal nuisance.
If
I
could restore just that part from a backup, life would be a lot
simpler.

Someone, about a month ... month and a half ago ... requested the same
information. Received A LOT OF POSTS to solve this problem.

Is this the same Nisko?

I personally posted 4 recommendations ... and heard nothing back ... nor did
anyone else. ABout 20 people were involved.

If not, check the archive ... there are many recommendations.

And why is this being posted to 3 newsgroups?

Sorry if it seems like I posted twice. I do try to show the proper
etiquette when posting. I have a problem with pain in my neck and head -
and it severely affects my memory. There are few moments when I feel well
enough to get on the PC - but it is the only "hobby" I am capable of
enjoying due to my illness. In any case, I will look up my previous post -
but, even if it sounded like the same problem, it isn't. Earlier, I was
trying to find a way to replace my Quick Launch icons in the order I wanted
them (rather than alphabetically) - when I lost them on a reboot. Since
that would mean prefixing each of the icon shortcuts with a numeral, I
thought it would be a pain because I often try new software and, each time I
placed a new icon in the Quick Launch area, it would mean renumbering the
existing icons. As I've said previously, I have more than 140 icons in the
Quick Launce area (I know that's a lot, but I like them there - it's one of
the ways I personalize my PC).

So, to help with my problem, I learned how to create more Toolbars in the
Quick Launch area in order to categorize my icons, i.e. one toolbar for
graphics, one toolbar for utilities, etc.). That way, if they got mixed up,
at least there would be far fewer in each toolbar to straighten out. NOTE:
The only problem I found is that you are limited as to how many toolbars you
can have in the Quick Launce area - even using small icons. Unfortunately,
the other day, it happened again - I not only lost all my icons in the Quick
Launch area, I also lost the divisions between toolbars. I tried a Restore
to when I knew the toolbars and icons were there - but, to my surprise, the
Restore didn't replace my icons OR toolbars. Hence, the second post.

Bottom Line: I apologize for seeming to post twice for the same issue. As
for the Thank You's, I also apologize - my neck pain must have interferred
with my memory because, if you've seen any of my other posts, you'll find
that I always that you folks that try to help others - my hat is off to
you!!! As for posting in three groups, I have found that most people read
either of the three groups - but not all three. Therefore, I am more likely
to more (good) replies if I post in all three. I don't always do that -
but, if I believe the question I'm asking is likely to get more responses
from more than one group, I will post in all of them. After all, there is a
lot of overlap in those three computer groups and a lot of expertise between
them.

Now, back to my problem: Since I don't know why I sometimes lose my Quick
Launce icons, and I like them all organized the way I like them on the
Desktop, I still am looking for a way to accomplish this - and, if they
disappear, I'm looking for an easy way to restore them in the order I like.
To this end, I don't yet have a solution. Also, while I'm at it, I think I
am limited to nine toolbars in the Quick Launch area (all vertical
separations from the bottom of the screen to the top of the popup tool
area). It would be helpful if I could have stacked toolbars in that area
since some of the categories I use only have a few icons in them (and some
have many). Perhaps there is another way around this - and still keep my
desktop neat.

Thanks again............

Please take this rather unique problem to
alt.microsoft.windows.xp.toolbar_management.obsess ive.compulsive

I'm sure that you'll find others who are suffering from a similar
malady as yours who will be able to help you.

Thanks - I didn't know there was such a group.

Now I know why you call yourself "Uncle Grumpy."

Also, I don't think my problem is unique - I just think that no one out
there has a solution for it - including YOU!!!

Ok, here goes:

To order Quick Launch:

1. Add (in your case) all folders to Quick Launch
2. Click on each one (hold left mouse click down) and drag to where you
want it on the Quick Launch bar (you will see a black bar appear when you
can release)
3. Release the left mouse button.
4. Do this with all 'Quick Launch Folders'

Now locate the folder which now contains your Quick Launch layout:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

In this folder you will see your Quick Launch layout.

Save this folder somewhere, in case you have to restore.

The only way your Quick Launch can be removed is if you remove any of the
entries, OR something is deleting all contents of this folder.

WAIT ......................

It just dawned on me, you said that the separators are disappearing between
folders. You are describing the wrong area. Here is the Taskbar:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| START | Quick Launch Area || TOOLBAR1 || TOOLBAR 2|| TOOLBAR
....||Applications... | System Tray
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are describing the Taskbar Toolbar bar areas (which by the way, you can
do this same thing you want in the Quick Launch area and solve most of your
problems).

The Toolbar areas are handled totally different than the Quick Launch Area.
And they sometimes do disappear based on updates from Microsoft, using Safe
Mode, .... This has always been a known problem with the Taskbar since day
one.

Another solution is to create a new TaskBar. After creating a new TOOLBAR,
left mouse click and hold, drag to another edge of the screen (I have my
Office Toolbar at the top of the desktop screen), and release. A new
TaskBar will be creating with this TOOLBAR. Then right-click on this
TaskBar and and your toolbars.

The new toolbar does not a Quick Launch feature, so your stuck as how you
place them. You can move them around by holding down the separator and
sliding left-to-right, right-to-left, to get where you want.

I would create a My Toolbar folder under My Documents and place all my
toolbars that I use in that folder ... since they are all shortcuts anyway.
That way you can restore when needed. But I never have had to ... uncless I
have chosen to Close one of the toolbars.

You can Hide and Keep on Top this TaskBar as well.

R. McCarty's is the straightforward/easy solution.

Get a second(larger)harddisk and make a ghostimage
with Gost2003 on that(compressed).
My last one: c8.5GB) to 4.3GB backup.
When in trouble:restore disk.
when nice and stable: backup disk.
I can keep several backup this way, and kill
some of the older ones on occasion.

That is much more involved than necessary, but I find that
especially useful for doing incremental Windows installations.
Currently I use Partition Manager 2005. You just make a copy(s) of
the Windows partition. It's a Windows program that does the work on
a reboot. I keep PartitionMagic around as a backup disk manager in
case Partition Manager doesn't do a particular task.

Thanks so much for the procedures - and for correcting me. I'll probably
get to try out your method tomorrow.

Its for ALL icons the QL IS on the desktop


QL - quick launch ALL= all IS = is


I guess it's no longer a QuickLaunch toolbar but is a floating menu
using the icons from the Quick Launch folder.

Your definition of ALL seems a bit overinclusive. Are you actually
including all the icons such as the trashcan?

Do you mean that the quicklaunch toolbard goes missing
or that its still there and there are no icons on it anymore ?

This time, the toolbars are missing.


Rightclick on an empty part of the main Taskbar Toolbars tick the
one you want or use New Folder... if it is not listed.

The resulting toolbar can be drawn out to show the icons or squeezed up
so that it pops up like a menu when it is clicked. Lock the Taskbar
afterwards to avoid accidents.



Can someone tell me where the setting is to restore them (from a

Search on Quick Launch.
They're normally in
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

I have over 140 icons and reconstructing them is a royal
nuisance. If I could restore just that part from a backup, life
would be a lot simpler.

If they are going missing from that folder, you
have a serious problem that needs to be fixed.

Why not have a good close look at True Launch Bar
http://www.truelaunchbar.com/.

It is a third party utility which gives you a lot more flexibility in
setting up your taskbars (one of which is the Quick Launch taskbar).

It has its own backups and you can name folders in toolbars in a way
you can not so easily in native XP.

No, I guess I'm using the wrong terminology. What I do is place a shortcut
for every program I have in the middle of the Toolbar (I have been calling
this the Quick Launch area - guess I'm wrong).

Desktop, not the Quick Launch.

Its for ALL icons the QL IS on the desktop


QL - quick launch ALL= all IS = is


I guess it's no longer a QuickLaunch toolbar but is a floating menu
using the icons from the Quick Launch folder.

Your definition of ALL seems a bit overinclusive. Are you actually
including all the icons such as the trashcan?
