The other method is to enable Quick Launch and drag it to the far left as in the tutorial then drag your open windows slider to the right.
Quick Launch - Enable or Disable
Then navigate to the Quick launch folder (the path is below) and either delete or create a hidden folder for the icons you don't want displayed.
Then create desktop short cuts for the programs you do want displayed & drag them into your Quick Launch Folder
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Attachment 91659 EDIT: sorry i misread your post this method doesn't really apply to what you were asking
This method is more if you want your open windows on the right and quick launch icons (what was pinned icons beforehand) on the the left
