Disappearing Taskbar Icons
When I turn my computer on, all of my taskbar icons are gone. If I then log off and log in again, they all return. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it? Thank you.

Make sure the option for showing icons is selected : rightclick Desktop>view>'Show Desktop Icons'
Upon such a boot and icons are gone, uncheck the option (if already checked), and then check it again. The icons should appear...still the issue isn't resolved. So first try to rebuild your icon chache : Launch taskmgr.exe. right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…) CMD.EXE, and click OK type the commands : CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local ENTER DEL IconCache.db /a ENTER EXIT In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…) Type EXPLORER.EXE, click OK. Reboot. |

When you start your computer do you use a log on password, or does it just start up without any logging on. If that is the case it may be starting as guest user & therefore not loading your settings. When you log off & then log on again you are changing the user over to yourself.
Have a look in your User Accounts & make sure the computer starts with you as the user & there are no guest users activated. |

Recently with items pinned to my Quickbar, when a window is open and moved off screen the quick-launch shortcut is removed (so that when you hover over the quickbar icon, nothing displays).
