When you attempt to create a new toolbar, or enable the Quick Launch or the Desktop toolbars, you receive:

Cannot create Toolbar.

These problems may be due to a corrupted registry entry, Dynamic Link Library, or a missing Quick Launch folder.

I have scripted TB.BAT to resolve the problem.

The syntax for using TB.BAT is:

1. Run TB.BAT.2. Shutdown and restart Windows XP.

TB.BAT contains:
