Hello Necro,

Normally if all the computers have the same shortcuts available in the toolbar, it should work.

Just to verify, did you restart the explorer process or sign out/in afterwards?

Are all the computers running the same version of Windows 10?

If not, then it's possible something may be different between a version causing an issue.

Hi Shawn, and all,
I love my Toolbars and have several, but I have a problem in that sometimes after a reboot (Win10 2004) all my Toolbars disappear, and I have to tediously reinstall all them (I have tried a couple of macro recorders, but these seem to fail). So Brink, a backup of my Toolbars would be wonderful but when I go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop
that registry position is empty. I done what little I know of to search the registry, and I've searched %appdata%, but I can't find where my user-created Toolbars are saved.
To create my Toolbars I use no special app, I just right click on the Taskbar, etc.
Can you suggest a way forward for me?
Take care everyone,
Doug

Hello Doug,

I'm afraid this registry key is just the location where the toolbars and their settings are referenced in the TaskbarWinXP binary value. It allows you to back up and restore these settings so you don't have to manually add your toolbars again.

This doesn't include the actual folders you used for toolbars.

Hello Shawn,
Your dedication to your followers is something other forum owner could learn from you. I don't know how you cope with it all. But a VERY big thank you.
A short recap. My problem is having to create my beloved Toolbars, because from time to time they disappear.
So, a slightly different question. When I create a toolbar, where in Windows is this action saved? If I can find this it may give me leads to why they sometimes disappear. Do you know where? Or is my question naive? I have tried to monitor changes to C:\users, without success.

Take care and stay safe in this troubled world,
Doug

Hello Doug,

Thank you for the kind words. I always enjoy helping if able.

When you create/add a toolbar, it is stored in the registry to the TaskbarWinXP binary value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop key.

Do you have anything installed that may be clearing these toolbars by deleting the TaskbarWinXP binary value or Desktop key above?
