    Lost Quick Launch links after OS install


    overview:I was selling off my old laptop and in the process of wiping it and re installing windows seven on it i lost the links to all my programs installed on my quick launch icons.

    more details:
    I completely removed the laptop hard drive and put it into my computer tower to rebuild the OS on the laptop hard drive. All my other drives in the pc were powered and connected. After removing the laptop hard drive now my OS thinks i have a dual boot system (another problem all together) and the links i have to programs installed on my "D:/" drive are not working. Any best practice to re establish the links?

    Hi,

    here's how to get Quick Launch back

    Quick Launch - Enable or Disable


    as for your other problem, try easy bcd to remove the bootloader for the "extra" OS
    EasyBCD Community Edition Free Download - Softpedia

    or run your OS DVD for a start up repair
    Startup Repair

    to repair the laptop OS, you should have kept it in the laptop and worked from there

MS seem to have decided that their "pin applications to the taskbar" feature is a much better solution than the Quick Launch bar - otherwise surley they would not have annoyed all those who have been using the Quick Launch bar for years by removing it... I am getting used to the new taskbar in...
I now have these quick launch buttons working but I was wondering how can I change the defaut programns they open. e.g. The email button opens Outlook but I want it to open Windows Live Mail. REP will be given.
