Thanks tomh and Cat..... it worked. You are so helpful....I am sorry about asking this lame question but, I did many moons ago and forgot how to do it. I knew someone at this forum would help me. Thank you. Cricketm/Marie

I have that problem every once in a while, except only for the Volume, the Safely Add/Remove is always there. I Googled and found the solution Mikie mentioned, for the Volume. It works, for a while, then the V button is gone again. System Restore always said no changes had been made. I've found that rather than going through the Options, a cold reboot will usually work. About the Safely A/R button: does anyone ever use it? DA, I remember from 'way back when there was a thread about that Invisible line. I think I found it then, but never have since then. Computers . . . aren't they fun? When you are having a bad day, try this link. I guarantee you will have a smile on your face, or maybe even LOL! Do get the large screen and have the Volume on; if yours is working. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: Run, Rabbit, Run

Bob, left clicking didn't change anything. Right clicking didn't show me anything that looked like a lock or unlock option. Since it got moved by accident I don't think it's locked and I wish I could lock it so once it's fixed this won't happen again. Any other ideas? TIA Jann

I don't believe you are talking about quick launch. I don't know any sure cure unless you restore to an earlier date. You can try a few other things. Open a program and at the top (Title Bar) right click it and click Maxmize and than click Minimize. Something else with a program open to maximize hold down on the Alt Key First and than the Spacebar and press N Try My Documents. It should Minimize to the Taskbar. You can also open a few things and click on Default. If you have changed your Icons in All Programs and click Default they will also change to Default. That's just a minor detail.
