2yrs and still unsolved MAJOR issue

I have brought this issue before too but still no guaranteed solution from your sides. :roll:
I'm a system administrator. My pc isnt infected by any viruses or anything. Nor the registry has any issues. & all is updated.

Whenever i install tlb for first time on XP Pro it works like charm. But after some days when i create new users (administrators or local), theres no TRUE LAUNCH BAR... option present for them. Instead when users right click on taskbar they just get Quick launch bar option and if they again try, it goes on giving multiple Quick launch bar options. Refer to images.

In context menu i have selected Without Shell/button but still no use.

What is affecting its functionality after a while?

I just need to keep re-installing windows xp. Even my friends are facing same problem.

I have genuine licensed xp and all licensed softwares.

What finally you answer to this?

yuri why are you not answering? Isnt there any solution for this issue?

I try to find the solution. Unfortunately I don't know the guaranteed solution. First please check the registry keys:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021492-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

This key must exist for every user. One of the TLB users reported that TLB don't appear in the Toolbars list without that key. Create it if not exists.

Also if the key exists try, it can have the subkey "Enum". Try to delete the subkey "Enum".

PS. Backup the registry keys before working with them.

i did what you said and the Treue launch bar option appeared on taskbar and also the bar. But sadly when i right click on tlb bar the whole taskbar gets hanged. Then i have to end explorer.exe process and again have to start but it again hangs when right clicked.

What can we do further?

Please try to unlock the taskbar and right-click the chevron at the left side of the toolbar. Is the taskbar hangs?

Also can you try to run the Standalone True Launch Bar and right-click it.

i tried as you said but as soon as i right-click in the TLB area on taskbar, the taskbar hangs. But if i right-click on another taskbar area like START button or empty Taskbar area then it doesnt hang.

What about the Standalone True Launch Bar?

What about the Standalone True Launch Bar?

same. there too if you right-click its hangs.

Do you have the same result when you right-click on any button and right-click on the toolbar empty space (standalone TLB)?

BTW, can we contact via some IM?

As i said earlier i dont face any issues if i right-click on empty area of taskbar or even when i enable or right-click on other bars like WIanmp deskband, wmp11 bar etc.

Only issue is with TLB.

yeah we can chat on IM but i'm only on Yahoo and Gtalk.
