Hey there. Looks like I finally found a way to automatically enable Quick Launch in Win7.

Here's the registry setting that works for me:

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

"TaskbarWinXP"=hex:0c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,aa,4f,28,68,\

Please, tell me if it also works for you.

No does not work. And does not work for you either.

Remove your quick launch then apply the reg reboot and then see the results . = nothing

However i finally made the quick launch script totally bug free now i will update my previous post about it, and compile the english and danish version with info on how to add other languages.

Wazer > So if it doesn't work for me, please explain me why my desktop has Quick Launch enabled right in the first boot.

If I wanted to enable it after this, I would do it normally. That's why we're in the unattended forum, right?

Sorry if it doesn't work for you, but it does for me.

@Orsi

Hello

Maybe the reason is the "space" inside the reg file you've posted!

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

The good one:

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

And,of course if we copy/paste this one with Notepad, don't work. I will try and I tell you!

Regards

*Edit

You can see that with the line I give, it's the same problem! It seems tere is a problem with the editor inside the Forum. It's needed to check the reg file after copy! Thanks

@Orsi

Don't work for me also!

I think it works only for you because %USERPROFILE% inside the reg file is "Orsi"!

Regards

This is the one that I used?

already a script for it that works

You need autoit, rename to 7QuickLaunch.au3 compile and try it. works on all screen resolutions

removed my file get from Wazer further down

Edited September 5, 201015 yr by maxXPsoft

What I did was simply compare two reg files (without and with Quick Launch enabled) using the fc command.

The code I posted shall work if your user profile is named 'Orsi', but at least you can see where to look in regedit.
