    Right click on the taskbar and go to toolbars, then quick launch. I think you might have it disabled.

    can you show us a picture? maybe your tool bar is locked and the quick launch bar is all the way to the left and you just need to drag it over

    That's what I think it is. You need to try dragging it out from the the end of either side of your taskbar.

    Ok here's the thing, i left my pc updating (windows update), after the update i tried opening the quick launch menu and it appeared, there was the internet explorer icon an then i put the wmplayer in it an it worked.
    But i can't get the "show desktop" icon, nor the "change window" icon.

    Do you have any idea of what's happening??

    Thanks for your help..

    Those only appeared for me in a new account; I always deleted them. Start a new account, or just enable the Guest account, and paste them to a shared folder, or make note of where the shortcuts point. You then can get them for your Quick Launch.

    If you're having problems just create a new toolbar and use it in place of the quicklaunch toolbar. Right click on the clock > Choose Toolbars > Choose New Toolbar.
