Hi Marty

Your quick launch icons should still be there, it only shows a few and hides others underneath.

You should have a small double >> in the quick launch area, just click on that and the missing items will pop up in a menu style thing.

When you have more than 3 quick launch items this is the way XP handles them with a small taskbar.

Not a problem old friend!

I know what you mean also, I was away from my machine for a little over a month and it feels like I'm starting all over again...things that were so natural B4, I now have to stop and think for a second.

Am I getting old??

:D

In XP:

Right click My Computer / Properties / Advanced /

under "Performance", click "Settings" / "Visual Effects" tab /

scroll to the bottom and make sure there is a check in "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop / Apply / OK

Or use a program like Iconoid.

On the screenshot, on the Homepage, just pass your cursor over the tabs, and you'll be able to see what it does.

yes tg1911 has the answer .

tje best part being a member of a board like this some will post a fix.

and i used to put the fix in a folder but now i try to rememberit and im afraid im i have memory lapses .

hate to admit it but i need to tell the truth.that way i can get help from the board .

the problem with forgetting the fixes we tend to keep asking the same Q more than once .when i was at techtv c.f.h .

i had over 600 tips in a folder and half the time i didnt know where to find.them

so i deleted them and tried to start a fresh folder .at the time i didnt have a burner so they cluttered my sys .now i have a burner.so i can put them to a cd.

god im getting carried away with this post.you guys take care.

i have a lot of regard for you people except the ones that send me that ip sig
