Just reinstalled XP Pro on my laptop (ATI graphics), and have set the taskbar settings to small icons. The quicklaunch buttons, for some reason, are disproportionately large,though.I know that before they were nice and tidy (before I had to reinstall), so know that it IS possible to have something that takes less space than these do. Is there some separate setting somewhere else for quicklaunch button size that I am missing?

I have just got another computer running XP home. I am not able to drag and drop a shortcut to the quicklaunch bar. And yes I have the bar unlocked and quicklaunch checked. I can't imagine why I don't have this function. When I drag to the quicklaunch bar I don't see the usual black line on the left of the icon.I can drag and drop on the desktop all day. Any suggestion as to what the problem might be? I have never had this problem in eight years I have had a computer.

View 6 Replies View RelatedPreviously I had my computer setup so that the QUICK LAUNCH toolbar would display program icons when my computer was started. Now, whenever I reboot, the toolbar disappears and I have to right click on the task bar, select toolbars, and select Quick Launch. Any ideas why this may be happening or how to prevent this from being removed each time. I tried locking the taskbar, but that didn't help.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI think all of this started after I downloaded some windows updates, and it stopped making anything on my quick launch menu to work. So I deleted most of them, but kept show desktop and outlook express. I fiddled with the toolbar settings (address, links, windows media player etc.)and now I've lost my quick launch option entirely! everytime I try to check that toolbar, it closes the menu and nothing happens. How do I get quick launch back?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently had to restore a mail folder for my Thunderbird application for a deleted account.So I accidentally made my entire application data folder visible (not hidden).Since then, an application called Quick Launch appears in the Applications pane of the Task manager that I can't kill.My understanding was that it was just a toolbar folder in the Application data folder. Every time I go full screen in WMP and come out, a little Quick Launch window minimizes itself to the bottom right of the taskbar.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI switched on my PC one day and the quick launch icons on the left of my taskbar had gone. I right-clicked the taskbar and selected "toolbars" and "quick launch" and this brought back the quick launch icons but doubled the size of my task bar and it will not reduce to its normal size unless I remove quick launch from the toolbars menu.I then tried to drag shortcuts from the desktop to the taskbar, which is how I had originally got the quick launch icons I wanted, but they would not attach to the taskbar.I have made no recent changes of any kind.

View 14 Replies View RelatedHave XP Home Edition with all current updates. Do not have toolbars locked. By mistake, moved the whole Quick Launch Taskbar and lost it. When I went to Start > Properties > and enabled Show Quick Launch, I got it back with all my icons. The problem is that they are no longer displayed in the order that I want and I can not drag them to change the order. Sometime in the past, I was able to drag them to change their rder. Again, I do not have the toolbars lock set. I went to my application dataMicrosoftIEQuick Launch and changed the sort order of the folder but it did not change the
display order when I rebooted the system.
Hi! After running a program called System Mechanic from Iolo technologies I discovered my computer had stopped working properly and kept telling me that files essential to the smooth running of windows had been changed. I did a system restore operation and almost everything went back to normal. The only exception is my desktop icons, and icons on the quick lanch bar. They're appearing inside white squares and not against the desktop wallpaper like they should almost as if the wallpaper has not loaded properly under the
icons
I right clicked on the Taskbar and checked Quick Launch and hit the Apply button. This put the Quick Launch toolbar on the Taskbar with the Show Desktop and Internet Explorer icons. I deleted them and now I can't duplicate this action. I can get the Internet Explorer icon back. But I can't get the Show Desktop icon back.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am using an elderly 3M LCD projection panel on an overhead prjector for big screen Tv, driven by XP pro SP3. The panel has no controls for vertical/horizontal size and whatever monitor is used, an OS desktop fills the screen by default. I can resize the window for the TV viewing program in the normal way,just filling my projection screen, but the XP desktop is far too large.Does anyone know of a way to change the physical size of the desktop (including the taskbar) so that it sits in the LCD screen with a blank border all around, or maybe even make it custom resizeable as in a program window ( without changing the resolution)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I right click a file to view it's properties there are two different values shown: one for file "size" and the other for "size on disk". The second value is always larger. Could someone please explain what the difference is because I'm in the process of allocating space for backed up user data on a network share and I need to multiply the average file size by the number of users to get an estimate of how much space to allocate to that share.
