August 7, 2009 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

By default Quick Launch is disabled in Windows 7. This will show you how to enable or disable Quick Launch on the taskbar in Windows 7 as a toolbar with small or large icons. If you want to add Quick Launch back into Windows 7 perform the following steps:

1. Right click on a empty space on the taskbar and click on New Tool.
