Under Windows 7, the bar or the Quick Launch area is no longer available as was the case with Windows XP and Vista. By cons, if you're like me and you have trouble getting used, it is possible to make it reappear.

Here's how to enable the Quick Launch area of Windows 7 :

To begin, it must unlock the taskbar, to get there, make a right-click the Taskbar and uncheck Lock the Taskbar

Right-click the Taskbar and select Toolbars, then New Toolbar.

When prompted to select a folder, enter this string: % AppData% \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Quick Launch. Once pasted, click Select Folder.

A new space appears in the notification area called Quick Launch.

If you want to see the icons of your applications instead of the words Quick Launch, please right-click on this space and clear the lines show the text and show the title.

To have icons bigger, make a right-click the Taskbar, select View, then Large icons.
