Quick Launch Toolbar Disappears

The problem:-after every reboot or shutdown the quick launch toolbar disappears.





Solution:-

It may be due to a malware- BlazeFind .Check whether there is any Search Assistant toolbar in the Taskbar or not.

If it is present then:-

Start>Run>Regedit>ok

now navigate to:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right-pane, change the value of Userinit to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,"

Type the above value exactly.Do not forget to add the comma at the end.

(without the quotes). Exit Registry Editor and restart Windows.
