Help my QuickLaunch :'(

LennonCook · 10-01-2002, 06:18 AM

I have accidentaly removed the icon from my quicklaunch toolbar that minimises all Windows to the Taskbar; and I use it every second or third click [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]
Can anyone help me repair my toolbar ??

Create a shortcut to your desktop of the desktop launch program, then drag it into the quicklaunch toolbar. On my 98SE system it is at

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Hope this works on your system.

P.S.( Was this what you were after .. a shortcut back to desktop ? )

I've done that before

I fixed it by doing a search for "show desktop" and then, as Panguar said, dragging it to the bar.

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

And now another problem; every once in a while, I get something popup wanting to install something. I think it says it`s MS Office, even though I have the relevant version for my system.
Ok, so far no problem.

I click cancel, and it comes straight back up again. This goes on for about 20 dialogue boxes.

How do I fix this ??

I run Win XP Home; and Install all Windows Updates as soon as they become available.
Since this started, Nortons has done atleast 60 full system scans, and I have run Housecall atleast once.

If you have MS Office, why not try a complete uninstall, system check, then re-install?
