quick launch icons will not stay locked, after reboot taskbar is blank tried lots of fixes but to no avail.The right side tray is fine clock progs etc this is just quick launch I have to manually unlock enable quick launch then lock every time.

One of our computers at work had this problem. The employees would just keep launching programs (not knowing that they were already running - as they don't appear in the taskbar). I'd hit Alt-Tab to see dozens of applications open. You're solution at Kelly's Korner fixed it all though.
(I think the problem might be caused by a google or yahoo toolbar conflict - Both toolbars were installed on the computer and one tried inserting a search field in the task menu. You can't really tell it's there until you tweak the toolbar a bit).
Anyway, no worries now,
Thanks much
