My Quick Launch works just as it worked in XP and Vista. I want to open something I just click the button on QL and that's it. See the image, QL on top under the orb (my taskbar is on the left).

This will show you how to have Quick Launch in Windows 7 like it was in Vista.

Quick Launch - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,

Quick Launch was just a name for the default/prefabricated/predfined toolbar. This could be pulled out of the default location in the task bar and put wherever.

'Quick Launch' for the toolbar is analogous to the default/prefabricated/predifined 'Links' folder in the old Internet Explorer Bookmarks.

What is missing is toolbar from XP which could be put on any side of the monitor.

THEN

You could create a new toolbar and name it Quicker Launch, and then put THAT on another side of the monitor.

THEN

You could do this 2 more times and have 4 totally different toolbars (only one of which was the 'quick launch', each defined by unique system folders) on each side of your monitor. (These toolbars could also be 'copies' of each other instead as they really just pointed to a system folder; you could have multiple copies of the quick launch at need.)

THAT is no longer possible in windows 7. Its a loss especially for people who use multiple monitors. I mean come on -- motherboards nowdays can easily give you PCIe space for 3 sli/cf graphics cards allowing you to setup an array of six monitors (and that's just with normal GPUs not using DVI links) -- you do NOT want just one toolbar for that, you want toolbars accessible on those other monitors or you have a mouse traversal nightmare.

This aspect of the windows xp toolbar is gone entirely.

---

A lot of people don't seem to realize the "Quick Launch" was just a folder name on the Hard Disk where the default Tool Bar contents was defined. Most people didn't realize apparently that you could have multiple totally different 'quick launch' bars defined and put all over the desktop.
