Hiya Folks

Just a question - does anyone know how to force the quicklaunch toolbar in WinXP to stay visible? It used to be there no worries at all, then I ran a few different anti-spyware programs and virus scanners, and now everytime I turn the pc on the quicklaunch bar is gone and I have to go into the TaskBar Properties and select it again. Thinking maybe the spyware killers may have edited part of the startup config somewhere?

Also everytime I turn it on now, the Internet Explorer homepage is set to Microsoft (even after I set it to Blank every time), and My Computer opens automatically as well!!! :confused: :confused: None of this appears in the startup folder, so not sure where I can change it?

Any help muchly appreciated! Thanks folks.

sinala1,

It sounds like something has damaged your OS.

Download Hijack This! (http://www.thespykiller.co.uk) and post the log file here. Do NOT make any repairs. (Hijack This! pulls up everything, including programs that are supposed to be in your computer.)

Take Care,

Richard
