I have been a big supporter of Windows XP and I was never able to switch to Windows Vista due to various reasons. It is like I almost hate Vista. Many of the simple features you have in XP can be found missing in new Windows 7 and you would like to have them even in Windows 7.

One of these features is Quick Launch feature in the taskbar. Its not available directly in Windows 7. You need to enable it with some trick. Here we will talk about how to enable it in Windows 7.

1. Just right click on taskbar, and unlock the toolbar. After that , right click again on taskbar and then click new toolbar.
