Quick Launch - How to enable it?

[smsc]

Hello,

I just nlited XP + SP3, plus some tricks!! It works very well.... Now I've a question??

Is there a way to enable "Quick Launch Bar" ???

I double checked nlite config, but I can't find anything for activate it.... Did I miss it??

[Octopuss]

Oh!! I was wondering about this one for a few weeks! Slightly annoying to manually make it visible after every install

[Maleko]

this would b nice to know, ive never found it...if its there...

Cheers

Thanks! Tested it with cmdlines.txt method but "show desktop icon" is gone, I can see only Internet explorer icon on Quick Launch....

[Arie]

Download ToggleQL.exe and let it run silently at RunOnce for example.

[Mihai_m]

I put in Quick Launch:

Internet Explorer.lnk,

Show Desktop.scf,

System.lnk,

Explorer.lnk

and works ok for me...

[smsc]

I put in Quick Launch:

Internet Explorer.lnk,

Show Desktop.scf,

System.lnk,

Explorer.lnk

and works ok for me...

Thanks Mihai_m, but please can you explain me how to copy .Ink file into quick launch folder during installation??

Then I also modify registry setting to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

To apply those settings to all user!

[Mihai_m]

You just have to copy-paste them on $OEM$\$1\Install\Quick Launch folder and put this line in Quick.cmd

del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\*.*" /q
copy "%systemdrive%\Install\Quick Launch\*.*" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

1st line delete all defaults Quick Launch's links

2nd line copy your favorite .lnk files

[smsc]

Ok... Find a different solution... Just copy all .ink files into following directory:

....\$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Then apply regitry setting using CMDLINES.TXT... It Works!

Thanks are flying to Mihai_m !!!
