Hello again ... Two problems that started about the same time (might or might not be related) 1. the Quick Launch disappears after rebooting. Note that the icons that I keep on the QL are always there when I right-click the Taskbar > Toolbars > and re-check Quick Launch. 2. At the same time, after rebooting the computer, or clicking Refresh on the desktop, the desktop icons all line up on the left side of the screen. They line up the same way each time. Right-clicking the desktop > Show Icons, shows nothing checked (except "Show Desktop Icons). Note that checking any of the options does not eliminate this problem. What I do now, by using a program called "Icon Restore" (it's excellent and it's free), I can immediately then put them back the way they were. Any ideas how this problem with the QL and the "unstable" icon positions can be corrected? --- Harold -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
