A new tutorial titled How to enable or disable the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7 was added by Lawrence Abrams. Please use this topic to discuss any aspect of this tutorial.

A brief excerpt of the tutorial can be found here:

The Quick Launch toolbar is a small toolbar that resides in your Windows taskbar
that allows you to quickly launch programs that you place in it. Starting in
Windows 7, the Quick Launch toolbar is no longer shown by default and is hard
to find as Windows 7 prefers the technique of pining programs to your taskbar
for easy launching. Unfortunately, many people still like the Quick Launch approach
to launching programs and miss this feature. Thankfully, the Quick Launch toolbar
is still available, but hidden in the hard to find %UserProfile%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet
ExplorerQuick Launch folder. This guide will explain how to enable this toolbar
as well as configure it to your liking.


We hope you find this tutorial helpful.
