Restoring Icons On Computer Task Bar

By Kale (Guest Post)

I have tried everything but this is stuck in classic; no other options appear but classic. I tried changing uxtheme, dll and it didn't work either. Please help; I feel like I have an obsolete pc with this old task bar.

It is not good idea to have those favourites in the quick launch on taskbar. This slows down your computer at start up.

I'm so glad someone asked this question as I have wondered about it too for a long time - now the problem is fixed - thank you

Hello,
Maybe try this. I did a demo on my XP and could reinstate my quick launch icons by:

Right click on blue task bar
Go to toolbars
Tick quick launch - when it is not ticked, icons are not displayed on quick launch task bar

To add new icons to your quick launch folder:
Right click on blue task bar
Go to open folder
Select file new
Click on icon that you want to add to quick launch folder
Select File close
New icon is then displayed on the task bar

Cheers.

Your taskbar may be locked. Right click on the task bar, and see if there is a check mark beside where it says "task bar locked". If so, click on that to remove it. Tthis should then enable you to drag an icon into the task bar!
