    A coupla questions

    1. The desktop quick launch tab on my toolbar just up and disappeared. How do I get this back....

    2. I am about to sell an IBM TP and what are some keys things recommended to delete and do I need to delete the sign-on/log-on password.

    3. Also I am buying a new TP T-40 off of craigslist and wondered about the logon password that may already be on there....

    Thanks in advance for any advice

    First question is in vista just right click and got to toolbars and click quick launch. I think it's the same in XP too.

    If you're selling a laptop, you should either clean install with drivers, or restore to factory settings.

    Hey Calvin, thanks but I have already tried that with no luck. Only my Mozilla and IE come up on the taskbar. The desktop icon is a no show....This happened once before awhile ago but I have forgotten how I got it back on...
