Quick Launch Error & Start-Up Menu Problems

[Shani S.]

Hi,

For some reason I can no longer use my toolbar QUICK
LAUNCH. Every time I click on the toolbar view Quick
Launch I get an ERROR MESSAGE: "Cannot Create Toolbar."
My "Quick Launch" folder is still listed
in "C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\" so I don't know what's wrong.

Also, for some reason certain items from my Start-
Up "Extended" menu has disappeared. Can anyone tell me how
to fix these things?

Thanks!

[Mart]

As long as these happened 'for no apparent reason' and you haven't tried to
'fix' them AND it only occurred quite recently, then try running System
Restore and roll-back to a date before it happened and with a bit of luck,
your PC should work properly again.

Mart, it's funny you should suggest I do that because for
some reason I CANNOT DO A SYSTEM RESTORE. And before you
tell me to check the "system folder," I should tell you
that I did make sure the "disable system restore" box was
UNCHECKED.

Any other suggestions? LOL
Thanks!

OK, - you *might* just get away with the other 'trick' :-

Start | Run and type 'scanreg /restore' (no quotes and note the space) then
OK.

If successful, you can then start to worry why SR doesn't work <g>

Hi again Mart,

I tried to roll back the system registry but that made it
worse so I put it back to today's date. I then did a
system restore and it worked BUT the Quick Launch is still
not working.

Something strange is going here.....Do you have any other
idea what it can be? I did notice that the my "folder"
icon was shaded in "C:\Windows\Application
Data\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\" Could that be the
problem and if yes, how do I fix it?

Thanks again!

OK Shani, you've lost me a little here -

Do you mean the "Quick Launch" folder. If so, right click and select
properties and see if it's Hidden. Mine has all boxes unchecked - if that
helps.

But more importantly, are there any (shortcut) icons in the folder?

If so, do any/all work?
