• 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.

• lost the "switch between windows" button on the Quick Launch toolbar

  Hi, I lost the "switch between windows" button of the toolbar quick launch, how can I restore it?

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Dasepo salvation,

  Here are the instructions for the program shortcut "switch between windows" returned the fell on the Quick Launch toolbar:

  First of all, make sure you that you must show hidden files and folders active. Here's how:

  Go to: Start/Control Panel folder Options/configuration and select the 'view' tab select "Show hidden folders and files under the section files and folders hidden from advanced settings".

  Then you can get the file from quicklaunch default section. This location of file is here:

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

  You can paste this link into the search bar (Ctrl-Esc). When you get to this place, you will find the 'switch between client.lnk' which you can then drag directly to the Windows Orb and it going bust in the Quick Launch bar.

  Hope this helps,

• Add to the Quick Launch toolbar

  I have my Excel in the Quick Launch toolbar. I would add an Excel file to the Quick Launch bar. It is possible and if so how?

  Yes you can.  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and create a shortcut to your file.  Then, drag the shortcut and drop it to the taskbar.  When you are asked if you want to pin to the taskbar, answer Yes.  It's the equivalent of Windows 7 which allows us to call for the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Good luck.

• How display the Quick Launch toolbar while right-clicking is prohibited and control panel is also forbidden?

  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).

• 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. »

• How to re - create "show the desktop" on the quick launch in windows vista toolbar?

  Yesterday, I used the "show desktop icon" to close all open windows and show me immediately my PC desktop.  Today, this icon has disappeared.

  The icon used to be on the section area of quick launch in my toolbar at the bottom of my screen.  I want to put it back, but I don't know where to find it.

  Hello

  Copy a new from here:

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

  Place:

  C:\Users\launch of \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick

  If you do not see the AppData folder, you need to change folder options/View tab see hidden and system first, or any folders just type the path in the address bar of Windows Explorer.

• "Show Desktop" shortcut on the Quick Launch toolbar

  So in trying to fix the "My Computer" shortcut on my QuickLaunch toolbar, I accidently deleted the shortcut "Show Desktop".  I found bugs to take him back, but they use all the old icons of xp/vista/etc.  They don't also create a tab to change the icons like 7.  It's kind of picky, but I liked the new icon for the office and I would return to this shortcut.  Someone help me out here?

  Thank you.

  Found the answer.  Here it is for all those who need it in the future.
