quick launch question

[zapjb]

Quick launch question. Is there an independent registry tweak or something (no bloated tweak program(s) please) that will allow XP to have more than 3 shortcuts without that annoying double arrow on the taskbar? Thanks.

omg you don't know how to make it bigger? :huh:
right click the taskbar (in an empty place) and uncheck "lock toolbars" then drag the little line to make the quicklaunch longer.

[orcutt989]

Hahaha.

[Samurai]

Hahaha.

Don't laugh. It's not funny :dry:

[zapjb]

lol. That was simple enough. Although I remember doing this ages ago & after a reboot that fn double arrow showing up again. I'll let ya know. Thanks for now.

Edit: after a reboot it's still OK.

it comes back if you make it too small or if you add a new program (they sometimes add themselves when you install).

[zapjb]

So my original question still stands peanut gallery. Btw my OS is XP VLK.

[zapjb]

Yes I relock the taskbar. Still that fn double arrows shows up after a reboot or two.

you could hide the launcher all together and install desktop sidebar (http://www.desktopsidebar.com/) and stick them all on that. :unsure: I use it I think it's a great app. If you are interested and need any help let me know. :)

From the authors site (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm):

Note: The Quick Launch - Cannot Create Toolbar Fix has been added.
You will need to re-download to use.


does this mean if it screws up your taskbar you need to re install it, the taskbar I mean, or the other way around. It is early in the morning and I is confused :blink:

[zapjb]

Ahhhh. No solution. :frusty:

[Izagaia]

i like the arrow

So do I... you can keep the quick launch short-cuts and not have your taskbar look so damn cluttered, IMO.

[zapjb]

Communists all! :lol:

Damn I'd like to get rid of that fn double arrow. :helpsmili
