after upgrading IE4 Sp1 40bit to IE5.5 128bit, I lost my quick launch toolbar. I noticed on several of my computers that is the case with all the IE upgrades to 128bit. Anyone knows how to tweak the quick launch toolbar? Don't want to degrade all the computers to 40bit for this purpose.

Thanks in advance!

During the upgrade it should have asked you if you want to install the internet tools. The quick launch toolbar is part of the internet tools. Go to add/remove program, IE, and add in the missing parts.

Thanks but it did not fix the problem. The internet tools are all added and still did not fix the problem. I will check MS Knowledge base later for some clues.

I had the same problem with each NT4 machine
that I had to reload. The problem is that quicklaunch was part of Active Desktop, introduced into NT (apparently) in IE4 only. If you do a fresh install and go straight to IE5+, it won't find AD, and thus Quicklaunch will be absent. So, uninstall IE5, install IE4 with Active Desktop, and then you should be able to upgrade to IE5+. Of course, this only worked on some of my systems... -QR
