quick launch toolbar default size
 

ok I ve been having loads of problems with this

right I want to build a xp machine where the quick launch bar is a std size (larger than default) for all users

yes I can copy the profile to all users and that works fine BUT when I use sysprep ( risprep ) it strips of this larger sized quick launch bar and puts it back to std


now why you might ask

because I have locked the task bar with AD group policy and our users are not happy with the extra button to find there commonly used programs

normally I would tell them where to go but I want to introduce xp as a standard and if they aren't happy they will stick with win 2000

cheers guys

How about a registry update on first boot ???

sounds wicked.. BUT where is it I can change the lock task bar setting but I cant find the length of the ql toolbar

yes, PLEASE tell me where the show/lock taskbar registry entry is. I've spent ages trying to find it

Only offering a suggestion, havent a clue where the entry would be :D
sorry chaps lol
errrrmmmm maybe in default user hive

*mumble's something under his breath*

*goes back to searching registry*

*Thinks he needs to get our more*:D

Have you used regmon before. Its the same as filmon but monitors the registry (reads, writes, amends, deletes, etc.) whilst you are doing a particalar task.

I've just had a quick play with it whilst changing the quick Launch tray but could not find excatly where the key is, however it did give me a few suggestions.

Regmon and filemon can be downloaded from SYS Internals

I've used both in the past with great sucess. It pin pointed a problem we had with Oracle and Novell printing.

Let us know how you get on.

i ve used installshield to create a snapshot image of the changes and still I cant find it

I will try the regmon, sounds a good tool either way
