If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file. Syntax: sfc [/scannow] [/scanonce] [/scanboot] [/cancel] [/quiet] [/enable] [/purgecache] [/cachesize=x] Parameters: /scannow Scans all protected system files immediately. /scanonce Scans all protected system files once. /scanboot Scans all protected system files every time the computer is restarted. /cancel Cancels all pending scans of protected system files. /quiet Replaces all incorrect file versions without prompting the user.

This allowed me to add the user's toolbar back to the taskbar. This was on a W2k machine. ***** IE6 Repair (for Windows 2000) Click Start/Run/ rundll32.exe setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance When the dialog pops up, choose "Repair Internet Explorer". Reboot PC. ******* Log in, and right-click the taskbar, choose Toolbars/Quick Launch. This seems to have worked for me. It appears that the original problem was due to spyware/registry interaction. Hopefully this helps. I tried all other suggestions from the postings here and at Microsoft. The IE repair did the trick.

I tried running scannow but it's asking for the Windows CD and my PC didn't come with one. Any suggestions?

If so try this. See if you have a folder on the HD called I386 ?(i386) If so check the Prop.on it and see how big the folder is. If it's about 250mb+ you can try to redrect the popup to the i386 folder when you run sfc /scannow command (this may work but I not tried it out) Some computer companys put win2k cd files on the machine so you can install printers,drivers,etc...and they don't need to give away a win2k cd with the machine..that will get lost anyway...

It's always been XP Home Edition. I tried one of the suggestions above for reinstalling IE but after changing the reg value and trying to reinstall it said that IE was not certified and would not install! Gotta love Microsoft....

LOL I spent agood 20 minutes Googling for a solution and the only other one that may work is in a pay forum. I'll go poke around the XP forums :) [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Cannot Create Toolbar Lost Quick Launch Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 8:37 pm Posted by Elizabeth99 (1 messages posted) Mike - thank you!! this solution is what finally saved me after trying many other things. My quicklaunch toolbar now is appearing in the middle of my taskbar, however. I really liked it on the left hand side. Any ideas on how to move it back?
