How to expand the quick launch area
I have Windows XP Home SP3 on my laptop and my Quicklaunch box shows 4 icons. I would like to expand this option to display 5. Can someone tell me how to proceed?
Hello
Right-click on an empty part of the taskbar, and then click to unlock.
You will then see the vertical lines delimiting the edges some toolbars are defined. Youy can then drag these vertical lines to resize the toolbars.
Right click and lock again to prevent accidental changes.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

Can I create a personal task bar that works like the quick launch area
Windows 7 has just been put on my computer. I had Windows XP before and I loved the quick launch task bar. With this bullcrap "Pin to Taskbar" if I nailed everything I had in the quick launch area I wouldn't have room for anything else on the taskbar. Is it possible to create my own taskbar to bring all these links in? Or we can suggest to Microsoft that they give back one of the best things about XP instead of this "pine to." I couldn't find anywhere to give feedback to Microsoft.
See if the information at these links are easier. It should be a wink to do. -

How to add buttons to the Quick Launch toolbar
I can't find the buttons for the "switch between windows" Flip 3D previews and the 'show desk top' on the Quick Launch toolbar. They used to be there. Where can I find them so I can put them on the quick launch area? I have Vista Home Premium.
Try this:
1. click on start
2. in the search field, type the following (you can copy and paste for accuracy):
%SystemDrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
3. Windows Explorer should open the phonebook.
4. you should now see the missing shortcuts in the left pane.
5. left click shortcuts and drag them one at a time to the Quick Launch bar. If you want to reposition shortcuts, just left click and drag them to the position. -
Cannot resize the Quick Launch toolbar.
I searched for an answer to my problem all morning and everybody repeat how the new quick launch taskbar is too restrictive and it only lets you see three icons at the same time. Well, I have the opposite problem. Every, single icon than me or my wife adds to the Quick Launch toolbar is always visible and I don't have any of the sizing handles on it to allow me to resize it. I unlocked the taskbar and everything. It is really annoying because I want my important shortcuts in the quick launch, but I also want to be able to actually USE my taskbar. If I continue to put icons on the quick launch, it will extend to all the way to my system tray and those who don't adapt are simply not available. Can someone help me?
Yes, because Windows 7 uses more a Quick Launch toolbar, so no "resize handles' I thought you may be interested in other options of the task bar to help keep the taskbar clear of both directions
(right side now known as Notification area).
May not be the answer you are looking for, but it's one of a number of "it's not broken, but we
will remedy "monopoly issues $ oft unleashed in Win7"
(one other 'Favorites' - taking away the option to disable the auto organize into folders).The only other option is the "always on"the cartel", etc. in the properties of the taskbar, but it combines only
reduced apps / browsers.Hmm - speaking of "resize handles. I just noticed that when the desktop is enabled (unlocked taskbar)
the "sizing handles" reappear, but unfortunately work the wrong way autour if you want a clear
Taskbar to display minimized applications or browsers.
You can pull the handle from right to left and push apps/browsers minimized in the "quick launch" area on a up/down selection arrow. Not very practical is that?
Good for those who want to keep their desktop icons displayed on the task bar, I guess?The window help-
"The Quick Launch bar is not included in this version of Windows. To quickly open programs, you can pin them to the taskbar. For more information, see Pin a program to the bar spots.
To quickly open files, folders, or websites, you can pin them to the program's jump list. You can use jump lists to get to recently opened items. For more information, see using jump lists to open programs and items. »

I have a user limited access to work where the right-click and access more common is forbidden by the administrator of the computer. Can I show the Quick Launch toolbar without using the right click on the bar of tasks and without the help of the control panel.
At the same time, the shortcut for show desktop is also prohibited (windows logo + D)
Hello
After some reflections more and a little research, you can try this...
- Click Start
- Click on run
- Paste it into the Open box: %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Options_RunDLL 1
- Click OK
- This should run the bar spots and the properties of the Start Menu
- Check the box "Show Quick Launch.
- Click OK
However, you may find that you are locked out of the race and taskbar and properties of the Menu start too!
If you can start the task (ctrl-alt-del) Manager, you can try the same thing in the drop-file for the new task. Or even try the same from a command prompt (start - all programs-accessories).

Size of the icons in the Quick Launch bar
The icons in the Quick Launch bar are usually about half the size of the icons on the desktop. Mine are now the same size, which is awfully big for the Quick Launch bar. Having the taskbar at the bottom of my screen, it takes at least two lines to display the icons.
What I found the same icons are used, but it seems that there must be a way to set the size of the icons shown.
How can I resize them to their normal size? So far, I found nothing on this topic, any ideas here?
TIA,
Margriet
First of all, it must unlock the taskbar, if it is locked. Now on the first line in front of the icons, right-click when the arrow on the side shows. At the sight of quality performances. Switch to the kid. If it is already on small, for some reason any. Put it in wide and apply, then back to small to see if it returns it. [_1337_Pete_]
