Now it is the age of Windows 7. Microsoft released this operating system with advanced feature, high security system and transparent, user friendly interface. But those who still love to use the Windows XP interface can get back their favorite quick launch bar in Windows 7.
You can doc any item to the taskbar combining the features of both quick lunch bar and task bar.
Restoring the quick launch bar to Windows 7 taskbar
To restore the quick launch bar in windows 7 you’ll have to right-click on the open area of the taskbar and choose Toolbars > New toolbar. Also unlock the taskbar from the menu as well.
The next step involves in putting the following code
%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
at the “Folder” area then clicking on “Select folder”.
Immediately after that you will find the quick launch bar has been created at your taskbar.
But the traditional residence of the quick launch bar is the most left part of the task bar. You can shift the quick launch bar to the left by dragging the dotted bar. Check that if the taskbar is unlocked, by right-clicking on the task bar. Otherwise you would not see the dotted bar.
Now you would like to show the icons only in the quick launch bar. For this, right click on the dotted bar at the left of your quick launch bar and un-check both of the “Show text” and“Show title”.
The quick launch bar should show only the shortcut icons. You can adjust the width of the bar by dragging the dotted bars.
Let me know if you like the quick launch bar in your Windows 7 or not.
