LPS-AU

I have have 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

Hello Peter,

Sure you want all this?

Here is mine as a reg file (you could copy the text below into Notepad
and save as desktop.reg
Include everything between the doted lines.
Export you key first, so you can restore it if you want.

Wow Claymore! That is also a very long entry.

Perhaps it is normal? I will have to back up the my Registry and try your
settings to see what happens.

All this started because of the small irritation not having the Quick Launch
stay on. :-(

Cheers Peter Stacey.
