Hello,

I have the "Quick Launch" toolbar and the "Desktop" toolbar on my
taskbar.
After I restart the computer those toolbars are gone and I have to add
them back manually.

Does anyone know how to fix so that I don't have to keep adding them
manually each time I reboot my computer?

[I have Microsoft Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
I have a 40 GB hard drive with 20 GB free space. 640 MB RAM.]

Thank you.

Brian

You need to lock the toolbar. To do this, right click any area in the
taskbar. A selection menu will appear. Click "Lock the Taskbar" which
second to the last item in the selection list (usually just above
"Properties".

Brian,

See if this procedure helps. Create a System Restore point first.

Hi,

Thank you but locking the toolbar did not work for me. If you have
any other suggestions that would be great.

Thank you for your help.
