Hello Rick,
On my PC, the Quick Launch items reside in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\
If I put shortcuts there, they appear in Quick Launch. I don't know if there's a specific registry entry that will tell you the location. The env var %USERPROFILE% gets you part way there.
HTH
