Yes you are right, it's about enabling technology but that is besides the issue. First of all you do not know my users and secondly, the systems are (historically ) locked down so the start menu and taskbar for example cannot be modified. No need to either (locally) since all our apps are in a Citrix farm and nothing runs locally except a virus scanner. By default the Quick Launch bar is disabled on WinXP, I want to GIVE the users the Quick Launch bar as I can see it's value in some cases. So guess I'm the hero afterall and we can start working together
