    Quick Launch Problems


    I activated quick launch like it had been in previous versions of Windows.

    It works great, and I love it.

    However, there's an icon on there that seems to be invalid. I get that weird Windows icon that comes up when a file is bad, and when I hover over it, it tells me it's an iTunes shortcut. I've tried to delete it, tried to remove it from the quick launch, tried to move it to the desktop - nothing works. I can't get it out of my quick launch area.

    I've attached a screen shot of what the error message is when I try to do anything to it.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanx,
    Jamie

    Open the quicklaunch folder and try refreshing it.

    Hi

    Go To C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    Change the Username above to the account name on your PC - You can delete the entry from there :)
    Don't forget to enable "Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives" under the View Tab in Folder options
    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Yeah, that was the first thing I did, but thanx. I'm pretty computer savvy - used to do support way back when - so I did all the things I can think of. This was obviously the first step. :)

    Well, it's logical, but when I go into that folder (and yes, I unhid everything), there's nothing there. *sigh* It's like this icon is a phantom icon. That folder is completely empty.

    Any other suggestions?

    No dice on that, either.

    Well, I wound up turning QL off and then turning it back on and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanx for all the suggestions, all!

    I guess it just had an error. Glad it works now.
