can't add items to quick launch
Why is it that when I try to add a program to quick launch, nothing happens? Is there a limit to how many items you can put there? I'm guessing most likely 'no'. I have 7 there now, but 2 of them I didn't add, they were already there. It's not that big of a deal, just wondering since I like to have some of my frequently used programs there.
But if there's no solution, I'll be ok with that:smileyhappy:

Actually, try one more thing:
Open Windows Explorer. Drill down to the c:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder. See if you can drag and drop a shortcut into that folder. You might want to right click on the Quick Launch folder, select Properties, and then in the Security tab check to see that you have full permissions for the folder.

Ok I did forget to add that I always do check to see if they're hidden. They just don't want to appear there for some reason:smileysad:

Hi Maria,
How are you adding items to the Quick Launch toolbar? Have you tried the "Add to Quick Launch" context menu option that's included in Windows Vista?

Simply drag the program (or its shortcut) to the Quick Launch toolbar (as in pre-Vista systems). Alternately, you may use my script here:
Add Quick Launch (create shortcut) option to the Send To menu in Windows XP/Vista:
