I'm not a windows XP user - I use windows 98

Does that help? I also do not have a 'quick launch' that you just showed me.

???????????????????????

Howdy again graecotha

Do you have anything that shows to the right of the start button
in other words no you have the quick launch area? If not right click the taskbar point to toolbars and make sure Quick Launch has a check next to it.

In 98 quick launch is here

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

and here's the 98 screen shot

I 'copied' and pasted' in my notepad. When I clicked on 'save as' the dop down menu didn't have 'internet explorer' in it. As a matter of a fact, I don't see IE on the bottom of my monitor. The only way I can access IE is if I go to start....then programs...then I see Internet Explorer. I GIVE UP! At this point...I don't give a hoot about that stupid icon anymore. I would need a 'step by step' process to get me through anyway.

When I look at the bottom of my screen I see
'start' then 'America Online' then an empty gray_____________________________________then over here: a 'plug' icon and a 'volume' icon. Oh well...........when I right click my empty bottom gray area, on the little gray window, the first option at the very top is 'toolbars', but I went there before and all I ended up with was a bottom gray area filled up with everything that is on the desktop. That's not what I wanted to see. All I wanted was the little white desktop icon back next to start where it always used to be. Really guys, don't knock your lights out on this one. It's more trouble than it's worth. Thanks again.

sounds like there is a check next to desktop in the menu that appears when you point to toolbars...did you look at the screen shot I posted ... quick launch should be checked ...desktop should not be checked...just click on them to check or uncheck

buck

[graecotha]

there's a checkmark next to 'quick launch' and that's it!

[buck52]

howdy

See if you can find your quick launch folder

click start then point to programs then click Windows Explorer then if (C has a + sign next to it click it...if it is - sign go to the + sign next to Windows and click on it then click the + sign next to Application Data then click the + sign next to Microsoft then click the + sign next to Internet Explorer ...is there now a Quick Launch folder showing? if so click on it...in the right hand pane the contents of the folder will be displayed

here's another screen shot
