Multiple Quick Launch Toolbars on Citrix or Terminal Servers

12th July 2006

Quick Fix
 

If you are getting two Quick Launch toolbars on Terminal Servers then it can be difficult to find how to get rid of one of them. Here are ways this can be achieved.

There appears to be a duplicate registry key. 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\Tas­kbar
is a duplicate of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\Tas­kbarWinXP

Solution is to delete the above regitry key. This can be achieved by a login script as below:

DEL HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\Ta­skbar

I have also seen multiple toolbars at times. This can be sorted by simply recreating the user profiles.

    John,

    I’m experiencing this problem and was wondering if you could expand on the “two registry” keys as the users don’t have the rights to manually close the quick launch toolbars first, so I will probably have to do this automatically somehow..

    Thanks,
    Danny

    “This can be sorted by simply recreating the user profiles.”–Ouch. I’m experiencing an issue when I move users with roaming profiles from an existing Win 2000 Citrix farm to a new 2003 farm. Any insight as to how to prevent having to recreate the profiles for all my users. BTW Thanks for posting this not a lot of info out there on this!
