W2K Quick Launch Bar Problem

Expand Post »
The 22 icons residing in my Quick Launch Bar have become "location unstable." Regardless of how I position them, upon a restart or fresh boot the icons rearrange themselves randomly. Can any one help?

Quick Launch - Icons (Arrange)

Right click the Quick Launch tool bar and choose Open Folder. Right click in the right pane and choose Arrange Icons by.

Re: W2K Quick Launch Bar Problem

That's not the fix. It only arranges either by date, size, alphabetically, etc. I have had a custom arrangement for my quick launce bar for the last 2 years or so, ever since I started using W2K. I have not viruses, trojans, etc, as I run Ad-Aware and Spybot and PC Bug Doctor before every shutdown. In addition I use Zone Alarm and AVG AntiVirus.

Re: W2K Quick Launch Bar Problem

Solved this problem with a crazy fix. Renamed all the .lnk files numerically, i.e. 01filename.lnk, 02filename.lnt, etc. Its working and seems to be stable. Who knows what Windows will do next???
