Quick Launch Bar

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi

Every now and then the text on my tool-tips for Quick-launch icons appears
behind the Icon.

i.e. When I hover the mouse over an icon I can only see the top of the
descriptive window that pops-up.

What causes this, and is there a cure?

Thanks in advance.

Nik.

I have this problem too but for me it usually happens in the system tray, not
anywhere else.

Every single day I wistfully long for my "working"
Quicklaunch in Win98. Not only do I have the same problem
as you, but I can't even get the icons to remain as I
arrange them. (Guess where PowerPoint is today!) This
seems too simple an issue for Microsoft to have screwed
it up--and not yet provided a fix. (I am certain it will
be fixed in the update--afterall, so many users have the
same problem. Yea, right. I'll not hold my breath.)

What happened to all those useability studies Microsoft
supposedly conducts? What happened during the beta
testing that this most prevalent "feature" (i.e., bug)
was not resolved before original release? (I guess they
found people were more productive and love WinXP more
when "features" don't work as touted.) There should be a
law against *NOT* selling what you advertised. (Gee,
isn't there? Guess it doesn't apply to Microsoft.)
