How can I reinstall quick launch without completely reinstalling windows 98SE? The following message appears when I open Windows: "The file 'Show Desktop.scf' on unknown is needed." With exception of quick launch and active desktop windows seems to work fine.
 
Copy the following text, paste into notepad and save it as Show Desktop.scf.

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

(note: Put quotes round the name so Notepad won't put a .TXT extension on the end)

You can then copy this file to the Quick Launch folder (use start -> find to locate it as it changes depending upon whether you have different user profiles enabled).
