ernokaikkonen 0 #1 November 4, 2002 The IT-administrator just brought me a new computer. But the new one doesn't have the quicklaunch area in the taskbar! The WinNT version is the same. Where's it gone?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #3 November 4, 2002 I should hope not... Seriously, I'm getting pissed off. It can't be that difficult to fix it... but I don't know how to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 November 4, 2002 Right click on the task bar, there should be an option for the quicklaunch bar. If its not there you may have an old version of explorer and will need a service pack/IE upgrade. Either that or you will have to sacrifice a virgin kitten to the BSoD gods...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ernokaikkonen 0 #5 November 4, 2002 I found the answer.... The quicklaunch thingie is a feature of IE4. I'm going to have to uninstall IE6, install IE4, activate Active desktop and re-install IE6. And I don't have admin-rights. Looks like I'll be bugging the helpdesk guys again... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #7 November 4, 2002 Hmm. I don't think I'm going to be sacrificing kittens at work... I'll have to wait until I get home! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #9 November 4, 2002 Oh well. I ended up installing a small program that provides the same functionality as quicklaunch and more. Now all I need is a good, free file-explorer to replace the one that came with Active desktop. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #10 November 4, 2002 One of the users in my office is in the same boat as Erno. Are there any good third-party shareware utilities that do the same thing as the old quick launch bar? I don't really feel like stripping out IE 6, going back to 4, then re-upgrading back to 6. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #11 November 4, 2002 I installed this one. It takes a little more effort to setup, but offers quite a lot of functionality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #13 November 4, 2002 Thanks, Erno. I'm downloading it now and I'll install it on their computer. I hate those pesky end-users, who think things like Quick Launch are actually important. Don't they know that important things are those that are specified and implemented by the IT department? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
