Maybe click "Lock the taskbar"

Are you saying that under "Start", "Properties", "Taskbar" that Quick Launch is ticked in the box but disappears again on bootup ?

You can just right click anywhere on the Taskbar and click Properties.

No, you can right click anywhere on an empty part of the taskbar and click Properties

Tabs are not the taskbar, they are tabs.

The taskbar IS the empty space.

Try your instructions once...

You are splitting hairs, both will work and sometimes it pays to choose a spot for a right click, not knowing a users capabilities. But as he's formatted and installed I'm sure he does.

Perhaps we can leave it at that as the question is now fully understandable by all.

Just to clarify, I think what you meant to say was Start, Control Panel, Taskbar but yes, either way will work.

Yes show quicklaunch is clicked

whats funny is i remember this happening before i reformatted too....like it used to show up but then all the sudden one day it didn't

I read somewhere maybe it has to do with registry or something?

noone has had this problem before?
