How to Disable Quick Launch Bar

To disable and turn off Quick Launch bar in Windows XP and Windows Vista (actually it’s not ‘disable’, but just make the Quick Launch bar hidden and disappear from showing in Taskbar. Quick Launch folder still exists, where users and programs can still add or remove icons and shortcuts from it), just follow these steps, which applied to both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Right click on Windows Taskbar, then select Toolbars on the right click contextual menu. In the pop up menu, uncheck or untick the Quick Launch option by clicking on it once, so that there is no check mark in front of Quick Launch to turn off Quick Launch bar feature.

    ugh, I don't know what I did, but now every time I reboot, my taskbar & quick launch returns to the original position before I changed it, its annoying, especially when explorer crashes……

    … sigh, guess it is time for a reformat again, the only one fix all method
