I’m also looking for the answer the “same Quick Launch”. I’m in the middle of preparing Sysprep images and each time I set them up and copy them into the Default folder, then Syspprep the machine, the files are deleted.

I was looking for the show desktop on my quick launch also, tried all sorts of suggestions, then found one to create a new user. The desktop was in the document folder of the new user. I put it in the public folder, switched to the original user, dragged the “show desktop” from the public folder to the document folder, then dragged the “show desktop” from the document folder to the quick launch. Now I have the Vista icon on the quick launch. Then I deleted the new user.

Alright, but how do I get the Quick Launch menu off the bottom next to the start and onto the side of the window like I had it in XP? In XP you just grab the edge of it, drag it to the desktop, then drag it to the side. It doesn’t work in Vista.

Thanks Asbjorn Vikane, I’ve been having that old show desktop icon on my PC for a long time until today
Cheers mate!

Billy, I am having the same problem. I’m not very computer tech savvy, is there anyway you can explain how to get the quicklaunch back in layman’s terms?

Great stuff! I am in the process of posting support for XP & VISTA on my own website. I have not been using VISTA that long, so the information you are giving out is ideal! Although I have managed to crack the Shutdown, Restart and Logoff shortcuts to use as one click ones from the taskbar.. ideal! I will still have to master how the registry is laid out as most of XPs registry apps dont work..I assume the targets are different??
