New taskbar in 7 moves launch icons around

I like the look and many of the functions of the new task bar. But, one thing I'm having trouble with is finding a quick launch icon. In Vista, the quick launch buttons were all to one side and, within their area, always in the same location so I could find, say, the Photoshop icon quickly.
Now, if my Photoshop quick launch icon is to the right of my windows explorer icon, even if I group all my explorer processes, opening just one process pushes the PS icon to the right - making it harder to locate.
And, if the QL icon is on the far right of the bar, it might get pushed to the 2nd row.

Is there something I can do to prevent this problem?
!Thanks!

That did it. Thanks, MacGyvr.
I had been there, but all I saw was the grouping, not the elimination of the lable.
And, Airbot, QL is enabled. I don't recall if I enabled it myself or if it was enabled when I used Windows Easy Transfer - which worked amazingly well.
