My question is about the Quick Launch toolbar icons at the foot of the window (links to quicklaunch1)
I try to rearrange the icons but after reboot the icons go back to the way the originally were.
Same applies to the toolbar I have higher up on the window itself (links to quicklaunch2).
I'm using Win98SE with Gape's 'unofficial' service pack

Try booking into Safe Mode, rearrange your Desktop and then reboot |

Tried it, didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. |

Hi -- I found the solution below at the site shown below. Hope this helps. I'd appreciate your posting back your results. Laverne http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/t1009758382Use Regedit (or your favorite reg program) to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and change NoSaveSettings to 00 00 00 00. Restart your computer, put the icons in the order that you want them to be in, then restart again. This time the icons should remain in the order you placed them. Hope this one works for everyone.

Thanks and thanks for the link, it's an interesting one. Switching 00 00 00 00 hasn't worked but I'm going through the other suggestions in that link. It's going to take a while because the suggestions there are a bit convoluted. |

Objective achieved! The trick appears to be not to just edit directly (which is what I originally did) but to then save the Policies\Explorer section as a REG file - which gives "NoSaveSettings"=hex:00,00,00,00 - and then to drag the icons into the required order and then activate the REG file and then reboot. |
