[Ham-Computers] W2K Toolbar Problem

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Group,

OS here is W2K.  Last week and this week, installing one or the other of two 
recent updates from the Microsoft site caused Norton not to load after the 
warm boot and disabled Add/Remove Programs, Search and probably some other 
things.  So I had to reinstall the OS from scratch on two of our three machines 
here.  No problem other than a lot of time wasted on the first machine.  I built 
this one up from individually purchased components.  On the second, which 
originally came from Gateway with XP installed (never again XP), the drivers and 
install programs other than MS Office were on a couple of CD's.  

First some definitions as I don't know the proper name for the two things I 
need to fix.  By default, W2K installs with a single row tool bar at the bottom 
of the screen.  The tool bar has the Start button on the far left, a quick 
link (or single-click shortcut) area just to the right of that with the Desktop 
button that minimizes all running applications, an area to the right of this 
where the names of running applications are displayed and the System Tray on 
the far right.

The last thing that I ran from the Gateway Drivers CD on the former Gateway 
machine was called Updated Video Settings.  As soon as it started, I realized I 
didn't need to run it as the montor was already in 1040 X 768 resolution but 
I let it run as I didn't figure it would matter.  However, after it completed 
and I think did a warm boot, I had a double tool bar at the bottom of the 
screen.  I managed almost immediately to turn this back into a single tool bar but 
now the relative positions of the quick link area and the running 
applications area are reversed (i.e., the quick link area is over to the right near the 
system tray).  

Does anyone know how/where to fix this (put the quick links back toward the 
left)?
