XP Registry Question

LPS-AU

have been having a problem where the Quick Launch setting does not stay
set beyond the current session. Have searched for a fix and tried numerous
suggestions on several NG's so far all to no avail.

Today I ran a search of the XP Registry using RegSeeker and under
HKEY_Local_Machine
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop. Default
Taskbar, it listed the "String too Long".
The Data entry for both the Default Taskbar and the (Personal) REG_BINARY
entry goes of the screen!
The Default Toolbars Data is just: 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00.

Don't know if this has any bearing on my problem but I wonder what is the
normal/typical values for this Data?

TIA. Peter Stacey

Also make sure you're not using a guest account to log in.

Not sure why you've got the
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop registry
key (unless you have google desktop or something similar installed).

Thanks for your response Graham.

I have gone to the site you recommended and carried out all the checks.
Don't have 'Google Desktop' but I do have 'Encarta Search Bar' listed in my
Taskbar -ToolBar.
My system does not have Omniband.dll, either in the registry or the file on
the HD.
Userinit.exe is listed in the Registry as noted in phase II
I do regularly and did again scan the PC with Add-Aware and SpyBot and MS
Defender. (after updating) and no problems were found.

Open to any other suggestions.
Cheers, Peter Stacey.
