Enabling the Quick Launch Toolbar

[Providence]

thx

it does work,just after load hive custom;more further,can it be more easier?just let reg file complete all jobs?

[as-sassin]

Hi,

I do it the Felix-Way , but automatic it with a batch:

Reg Load "HKU\CUSTOM" "c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\ntuser.dat"
regedit /s FELIX' REG_FILE
Reg Unload "HKU\CUSTOM"

That's pretty simple and works fine!

...actualy I'm still searching for the clue to size the quickluanchbar for normal users...

[rdalling]

As-sassin if you refer back to the previous post where we we discussing this

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23804&hl=

Did you remove any tweaks so that the quicklaunch bar was not turned on before trying my method?

This works great for sizing the quicklaunchbar...

yes it can be easier - but it will only be for the current user - if you want it for all users the way specified in the guide is the easiest. See the latest updates to the guide for automated options - this should make it easier still.

Customizing the Default User Profile Has now been updated and includes automated addition to the default user hive.

Nice one as-sassin - i will add this to the guide 

B) That's an honor!

I did the sizing thing the way it was told in the thread, but it just sized the administrator's quicklaunch bar, the user's stayed default-small...

I did first the felix thing, than imported the sizing-regkey, shout I have done the sizing first?

Your welcome and you have a credit on the page for the info too

What sizing are you trying for 2 line? i will do some testings and get back to you... when i did the tests during writing the guide they all worked but i will double check for you no worries.

stay tuned

[`Felix`]

Hey as-sassin ,

Did you got to my guide page? there is more details on how to add these options to the default user hive. Check that out as i have just double checked everything contained there and it worked like a treat.

Have fun..

[Thauzar]

I only want the quick launch bar displayed for Current User. I saw this key in some post but not really sure if this works

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"ClassicShell"=dword:00000001

Else, any simple way I can add this to my regtweaks.reg file so my unattended installation would get me into windows with the quick launch bar already settup?

Thanks

[Sanjay]

What I need to know is what are the settings for me to be able to have the Quick Launch bar on the right side (next to the clock) and not on the default left side (next to the Start button).

Thanks.

[crunge]

Thanks so much that worked
