Quick Launch folder issue

I somehow accidently deleted the (default) "Quick Launch" folder in my: "C:\Users\Luc\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer"

So I created a new folder called "Quick Launch" again, and re-added the Quick Launch bar to my Windows taskbar. Now everything works fine and I can add quick launch icons into it, but sometimes after I reboot my laptop all the icons are completely out of order again. So I can put them back in order again (like: 1. Desktop, 2. MSN, 3. Paint) but on the most random moments it gets unsorted again after a reboot. (like: 1. Paint, 2. Desktop, 3. MSN)

Could this be a folder option I forgot to set or is it some bug within my Windows 7 installation?

Note: I never had this on my previous Windows 7 installation, but I never accidently removed my Quick Launch folder there.

You can right click on the quick launch and see if you have the option to lock
If so try it.
If lock does not work, use system restore to go back before you made the error
System Restore

System Restore is disabled on this laptop, so that's not possible.

What I forgot to mention:
I copied the Quick Launch folder from the default Windows profile: "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

Even that didn't solve it, as far as I know is locking not possible.

I will try the SFC program, but that's the exact same guide that I followed to get myself a Quick Launch bar! :)

I tried the program, it said:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32>sfc /scannow

Systeemcontrole wordt gestart. Dit proces kan enkele minuten duren.

Verificatiefase van systeemscan wordt gestart.
Verificatie is 100% voltooid.

Er zijn geen schendingen van de integriteit gevonden.

C:\Windows\System32>

So it hasn't found anything.

I think you are looking way too much forward/deep. The fact I deleted a system's default folder doesn't mean I have to run a system restore or run an image over it. It surely is the most easy method, but it happens to be that this computer can't be missed at all the coming weeks.

So if there's anyone with an alternative - which maybe is extremely simple - you are more than welcome to share it!

I personally think it has to do with other folders, as soon as I sort on date or size (or whatever) in other folders it seems the quick launch gets messed up. Isn't there a way to isolate this, so that it doesn't change?

Okay, I just tried this. But seems like I was wrong, the things are still in the exact same order as they were 5 minutes ago before the reboot.

Is there any chance programs can mess this up? Although I'm not running any other programs than before this new Windows 7 installation.
