In Windows 7 the QuickLaunch toolbar is no longer present by default nor is it an option in the toolbars menu.
To enable the QuickLaunch toolbar in Windows 7 do the following:
- Right-click the taskbar and choose Toolbars –> New Toolbar.
- Navigate to the folder ‘C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch’ and click the ‘Select Folder’ button.
- Now within your taskbar you should see a new toolbar labeled ‘QuickLaunch’.
- Right-click on your taskbar again and uncheck ‘’Lock the taskbar’.
- Drag the QuickLaunch over near your Start Menu.
- Right-click on the QuickLaunch text and uncheck ‘Show text’ first and then uncheck ‘Show title’.
- Size your toolbars the way you like and right-click the taskbar again and check ‘Lock the taskbar’.
You should now have your QuickLaunch toolbar!
