What happened to my Quick Launch Taskbar?

Every time I reboot my computer the Quick launch taskbar doesn't launch. I go to start menu properties and find it's unchecked. I recheck it and click apply and it appears until I reboot again. I also tried checking locking the taskbar but upon rebooting I still find the Quick Launch selection unchecked again.
I just started doing this all of a sudden for whatever inexplicable reason.

Anybody have any ideas?

Have you got it checked in the toolbar itself when you rightclick and get 'Toolbars'. Happened to me once I unchecked the 'Quick Launch', and the whole darn thing I had in there didn't show up, but when I checked it again it all came back......had to sort it out again though the way I wanted it.

 

zbd21, Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the program, but it didn't seem to work.
HUDIK, yes that does work, but only until the next reboot. I've also tried checking "Lock toolbars" and doesn't work, but thanks for the idea.
Does anybody use Tweak UI, and is there anything in there that might work?
Thanks aging for the help.

Sorry that didn't help....can't help you with Tweak UI (perhaps somebody else here can).
One thing you said it happened quite suddenly. Have you considered it could be some malware or something corrupted in the registry??
