Taskbar Problem

[BigDadday]

I reformatted my HD and all was well as the left side of the taskbar had everything there including something I dragged there. I went away and shut my puter down and when I came home there was nothing there at all. Any ideas? Thnx!BD

Dunno, maybe you lost Active Desktop? I say, you meant on the left of that subdivision in the taskbar? Dou you still see the split? What OS are you running?

 

[BigDadday]

98se is the OS and the split remained that's why I am confused.

Can you post a pic of it? I cannot really see what you mean

Maybe I know a solution when I see it

Right click the taskbar, go to Toolbars, and put a checkmark in "Quicklaunch"

It was and even unchecked and re checked it and nothing not to mention I ran setup again and still no luck?

 

[fury]

It may be that the items have been removed from quicklaunch... is there a second split there that would indicate the quicklaunch bar is actually there but just empty?

 

[BigDadday]

WAS until I unchecked and rechecked the quick launch and now nothing but far right.

Repopulate your Quick Launch bar

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Fill this up with an IE icon at first and then try reactivating the quick launch bar. If it works, fill it up with the rest of your icons.

When I go there it asks me which program do I want to use to open this with ?

 

[fury]

I'm not sure why that happened. Can you show me a screenshot?

To fill the folder up with an IE icon, just drag it from the desktop to the folder...

My guess is that it's actually still there but has got pushed around. Try increasing the depth of the Taskbar (i.e., put the mouse cursor on the top edge and increase the Taskbar height to about half the screen). Or try moving the taskbar to the right-hand side. Shuffling things around often throws things up.
