    I run Win XP home, and I always keep my Quick Launch bar visible by checking it in my right click on the Toolbar menu and the right click desktop menu for align desktop icons unchecked.
    Whenever I reboot I have to unhide my Quick launch bar. Also all my desktop icons selection is checked again to align to a grid.
    Also I've tried locking the Taskbar before shutting down too to no avail.
    It's got me puzzled.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Floyd

    Right click on Taskbar - select 'Properties'

    your settings should be similar to those shown below

    Shanemail, thanks for the suggestion, but I've already done that. I've done it there as you suggested and also by right clicking on the toolbar and checking "Show Quick Launch". When I reboot the tick mark is gone and it's hidden again.

    Do you have any security program set to disallow changes to some of the sytem items?

    Plodr, yes I use AVG VS, spyware Blaster, windows Firewall, Windows Defender all in addition to a number of programs I scan with periodically.
    All are up to date also.

    Then you need to check AVG and Windows defender to see if they are set to undone any changes made to the system. Or, you could disable them and then make your tick, reboot and see if the tick stays. Then enable AVG and Windows Defender again.
