That's just an example. There is more,but anyway. If you have applied it correctly that is not the case, all you need to do is create a new toolbar and then add your shorcuts to it and it will behave in the same manner as Quicklaunch.
If you don't want to make your own toolbar then you can easily open up a second instance of an application (eg. IE or Firefox) by clicking on your pinned or running app with the midle button on your mouse. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew OS Windows 7 Ultimate Vista Ultimate x64 CPU Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz @ 3.8Ghz Motherboard eVGA 750i FTW Memory 2x2Gigs Patriot PC2-6400 LL Graphics Card Inno3D GeForce GTX260 216 SP Monitor(s) Displays ASUS VW222U 22" 2ms Response time Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Mouse Logitech G9 Gaming Mouse PSU HYTEC 600W & Thermaltake 650W Toughpower Power Exp Case Thermaltake Armor LCS (Liquid Cooling System) Cooling Liquid Cooling System Hard Drives SATA 150GB

You may be mixing up the superbar and Quick Launch. I just tested a shortcut on Quick Launch by clicking it twice and it opened twice just like XP. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Haha! You peeked. Why so nosey? OS XP / Windows 7 Pro RTM |

This is mine. To get similar, activate quick launch, then with taskbar not locked, right click in the quick launch and select view | large icons. Also, uncheck show title. Then lock the taskbar again if that's how you like it.
Also, I'm using a double sized taskbar as you can see. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self built OS 7600.20510 x86 CPU P4 550 3.4 GHz HT running at 3.5 GHz Motherboard MSI PM8M3-V (MS-7211 v1.x) Micro-ATX mainboard Memory OCZ 2 GB(2x1GB) DDR400mHz running @ 414 mHz Graphics Card HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo HDMI Dual DL-DVI AGP Sound Card MOTU Traveler firewire studio interface 192 kHz 24 bit Monitor(s) Displays 22" widescreen Acer X223W LCD, 17" Compaq P75 CRT Screen Resolution 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 Keyboard Logitch Classical Keyboard 200 Mouse Logitech Mediaplay cordless PSU 350W generic Case Cybertronpc, it glows blue Cooling stock cpu fan, Ice-Q 3 gpu and system, many case fans Hard Drives SATA I x2 WD, 400 GB and 120 GB, SATA 2 WD Caviar Black 1 TB Internet Speed 1792/448 kbits/sec Other Info SATA II PCI fake RAID adapter, 1 GB Readyboost, original ATI Remote Wonder (even works with WMC perfectly), Logitech Rumblepad 2 game controller x2 |

Look at image. I left it showing the title so it's easier to distinguish. 
On the right is Quick Launch and on the left is the superbar. The superbar is something like a Quick Launch and taskbar combined. You can remove all the pinned items from the superbar if you want to achieve something similar to XP.
Here it is looking and acting almost identical to XP. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Haha! You peeked. Why so nosey? OS XP / Windows 7 Pro RTM windows 7 quick launch like XP / VISTA ? problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:54 PM. | |
