If you right-click on a blank spot in the QuickLaunch toolbar and select
Open, Windows Explorer will navigate to that folder. Do you see your
shortcuts there?

Is a restore-state program running on your host, like Microsoft's
SteadyState, Symantec's old GoBack, Returnil, Acronis Try&Decide, Comodo's
Time Machine which can restore a partition's image on a hard disk back to a
prior known or base state?

What anti-malware or other security products are running on your host?

The only KB article that I found that might be applicable (although for an
older version of Windows) is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273785.

I appreciate your input on this matter but all I say is he's not on the
list.

Hmm, someone is intercepting your newsgroup posts. They added lines
starting with "The web page ...", "Check out 'pcbutts' ...", and "Can you
really trust ...". >;-)

You're a trip dude. Did you see BTS's web page?

http://tekrider.net/usenet/pcbutts.php

Care to give us a picture of another woman you're not?

Really Chris, you need help. There is something wrong with you.

I just wanted to make sure you saw the page I refer to. I'm not going to
play your game because a person can't win with a person in denial.

Denial is not a river in Africa.

Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a
person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and
rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be
overwhelming evidence.

This is not the MVP site despite its fake logos.

The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/.
