Ok I have built many pc's in the 10 years and installed windows probably a few thousand times. This is just to let you know that I am not a complete noob.
Anyway on my current desktop pc I have Windows XP sp3 which is current with all updates. Just recently (like within the last 2 weeks) I have noticed that when I restart the pc my quick launch icons are gone. The checkbox is unchecked in Taskbar and Start Menu properties. When I recheck the box to bring them back they are in the reverse order from the way I had them set. I have done numerous virus/spyware scans and they have come back clean. This is driving me nuts. Has anybody else seen this and figure out a fix?
Next issue. I am using firefox as my browser with MSN as my homepage. When I open a new browser window or new tab the focus of the cursor starts in the Google search bar at the top right of the browser window. Within about 3 seconds the focus shifts to the MSN search bar towards the middle top of the browser window. I have noticed this for a few weeks now but can not remember when it started.
Thanks for any help here.
