Disappearing act

When the toolbar don't start on startup this the registry problems most likely. Here some steps to fix the problem:
1) Set the registry value NoSaveSettings into 1 (create DWORD value if not exist. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer)
2) Try to force the toolbar saving. Select Start->Shutdown, then hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT and press the Cancel button. Windows Explorer will exit and save it's state. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to start the task manager and run the explorer.exe
3) If you have the language bar active, select the "Settings" of the language bar and tun off both checkboxes on the Advanced tab

If nothing helps, and if you have othe computer without this problem, you can copy the registry keys from this computer to your own. The only note: the toolbar paths must be the same on the both computers. The registry key where Windows store the toolbars is

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop
