Severity
Warning
Message
This Windows Installer database contains shortcut [SHORTCUT_NAME] installed in the Quick Launch bar (Table: Shortcut, Key: [SHORTCUT_KEY]).
Background
The Quick Launch bar is a dockable toolbar that contains user-defined shortcuts to applications. Icons in this area respond to a single click. Since Windows 7, this functionality is included on the taskbar buttons (shortcuts can be pinned to the taskbar) and the Quick Launch bar is by default not available. It can be enabled, but it has compatibility issues with the Language bar. If both are enabled, the Quick Launch bar is removed after the machine is restarted.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available.
Manual Fix
Quick Launch shortcuts should be moved to another location or pinned to the taskbar. Alternatively, the Quick Launch bar can be enabled.
Caution:Enabling the Quick Launch bar is not recommended because of possible conflicts with the Language bar.
Basic Auto Fix
No resolution is available.
Advanced Auto Fix
Quick Launch shortcuts are removed in a Windows Installer transform. This fix is enabled by default.
