I lost the two icons in the taskbas for Vista - the 3D flip and desktop. Antone know how to restore them? Also the volume icon is missing on the quick launch... and I cannot get it to display. Help!

Right-click the taskbar, go to Toolbars and make sure Quicklaunch is checked. Let us know if that works or not.
The volume icon usually is in the system tray, not Quicklaunch.

I have tried this. I did get the volume back but not the 3D or Desktop icons. They are not anywhere to find to drag to the quick launch. They disappeared.

You will find a duplicate of both the "Show Desktop" and "Switch between windows" shortcuts in the Default User, Quick Launch folder.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
In the Quick Launch folder, right click and Copy the "Show Desktop" shortcut.
Next, open the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder. (Where "username" is the name you are logged on with and right click / Paste the shortcut there.
Repeat the same steps for the "Switch between windows" shortcut.

I too have lost my Quick Launch icons but when I looked in the place you suggest that too was empty. Can you advise how to restore them. I suspect that Bug Doctor was reponsible for deleting them all.
Thanks,
Peter

Sorry for the late reply.
You can manually recreate the Show Desktop and Flip 3D icons. Here are the steps.
For Show Desktop:
1. Open Notepad and Copy / Paste the text between the 2 lines in Notepad. (Don't copy the lines)
--------------------------------------
[Shell] Command=2 IconFile=shell32.dll,34 [Taskbar] Command=ToggleDesktop
--------------------------------------
2. Save the file as Show Desktop.scf to the Desktop.
You can then move or copy the resulting Show Desktop icon to the location of your choice.
For Flip 3D.
1. Right click the desktop and select New / Shortcut.
2. Copy and paste the following in the Location Box and then click Next.
RunDll32 DwmApi #105
3. Enter the name Flip 3D and click Finish.
4. Right click the new shortcut and select Properties / Change Icon. Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Windows. Click the Explorer.exe file and select Open. The icon is in the 3rd row, 5th icon. Select the icon and click OK. Click Apply / OK and your done.
You can copy or move the to the location of your choice.

Is it important to have " C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" in VISTA? I have tried to search for mine and could not find it. I did the manual install according to the directions and I created a Windows 98/XP Icon. Not the VISTA looking Icon. Will this suffice? How can I create the VISTA Icon? Thanks for your input and help.
