We already know. Now it's the turn to return the panel to it quick launch... The screenshot below shows the Windows 7 taskbar, which, firstly, has been returned to XP / Vista mode, and secondly, the Quick Launch has been added to it. Looks like Vista, doesn't it?

In order to return the quick launch panel to its rightful place, you need to right-click on the free zone of the taskbar, select the Toolbars menu bar and then select the New Toolbar line of the new panel. You may also need to unpin your taskbar at this stage (if it was docked).

Now paste the below line into the panel like in the screenshot:

% appdata% \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Quick Launch

... and before clicking the “Select Folder” button, make sure the panel displays the full address, as in the screenshot below:

After clicking the button, you will immediately see your quick launch bar on the taskbar. However, it will be shifted to the right, so you will need to drag it to the left. Please note that before you can drag your toolbar, you need to right-click on the taskbar and unpin it.

So, now your panel is almost to the left, drag it closer to the Start button like it did in Vista.

Now there is one more problem left to solve - the usual Quick Launch bar, which you used earlier, did not have text. Therefore, let's remove it too. Right-click on the line of dots and uncheck the Show Text and Show Title titles in the menu that appears.

To make sure you are doing the right thing, lock your taskbar.

That's all. The Quick Launch bar has returned to its rightful place and now it is extremely difficult to understand that this is Windows 7. Good luck!

But at the same time, it should be noted that the algorithm for its implementation cannot be called intuitive for most users, and therefore you need step-by-step instruction implementation of the described task, which was described in this article.

The classic Quick Access Toolbar, such as it is used to see in Windows XP, is absent in the “seven”. More precisely, in Windows 7, it merged with the taskbar and became, in fact, a single whole with it. There is no longer a highlighted area to the right of the Start button where you could place shortcuts to frequently launched programs - now you can simply pin them to the taskbar using its full width.

The designers of Windows 7 clearly did not reckon with users who were accustomed to working with the old Quick Launch bar and considered it a useful and convenient tool. However, the loophole was still left - now the user can create it himself, and the taskbar will take its previous, familiar look. Let's see how to do it.

Adding the Quick Access Toolbar in Windows 7

• Uncover context menu taskbar by right-clicking on free space on it. Click Panels >> Create Toolbar.

• Navigate to the C: \ Users \ Account_Name \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Quick Launch folder and click the "Select Folder" button. But! The “AppData \ Roaming” directory in Windows 7 is initially hidden. To get into it, you can manually write a jump command in the address bar of the explorer. It should look like this: % appdata% \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Quick Launch... You don't need to create new folders in other locations unless you intend to add shortcuts to them yourself. During the installation of the programs, when you check “Create shortcut in the Quick Launch bar”, it will be created in the Quick Launch folder.

• You will now see that the Quick Launch folder appears in the taskbar and is closer to the tray.

• To drag our future quick access panel to the Start button, that is, where it should be, you need to right-click on the free space next to it and uncheck the "Dock the taskbar" checkbox in the context menu.

• After that, “Quick Launch” can be dragged to the left by grabbing the vertical dot separator with the mouse. Anything that gets in the way - the language bar, running programs will have to be temporarily closed.

• The next task is to remove text signatures from the quick launch panel - they were not there in Windows XP, and we do not need them in the “seven”. Right-click on the dotted separator and remove the labels from the items “Show title” and “Show captions” in the context menu. “Quick Launch” will then become more compact and tidy - the way it should be.

• Next, to remove the separators, you need to re-enable the taskbar pinning.

• If you change your mind about using the Quick Access Toolbar and want to return the Windows 7 working environment to its original appearance as it was before all the manipulations, open the context menu of the taskbar and select “Properties” there.

• Click the Toolbars tab and uncheck the Quick Launch item. Confirm the action with OK. As you can see, the Quick Access Toolbar has disappeared.

It turns out that the worker Windows environment 7 is fairly easy to tune into the “old fashion” if you prefer it. It is also simple to return it to its former form. Feel free to experiment and trust that you will get it right.

Greetings to everyone on my blog, and today we will learn how to make the Windows 7 Quick Launch bar on our own, in the same way it can be done on Windows 8.

A little background on this issue.

The program quick launch panel, which is usually located at the bottom of our desktop, has existed regularly since Windows XP and those who used this operating system, know exactly its purpose and capabilities.

However, starting from Windows versions 7, this function was abolished from the regular arsenal and it became possible only through its additional creation with the use of some knowledge and experience.

Abolished by many, as I think in vain, this is very useful and the right opportunity correctly and competently organize your desktop on a PC and all work in general.

For those who have not used the Quick Launch Panel in Windows 7 or Windows 8, I will briefly describe its capabilities, this is, first of all, the convenience of access to launch any program or file without leaving the desktop and without accessing the All Programs or Search "

This greatly speeds up and, most importantly, simplifies your work on the computer.

P.S. For those who want to use even more capabilities of their computer and become an advanced user -

where you can not only fully customize your computer for yourself, but also make it work safe and reliable.
