Can't Enable Quick Launch?

Hi guys, I'm running Windows 7 Build 7000 and I'm desperately trying to get the Quick Launch toolbar working. I've relied on it quite a bit for several years and it's a bit frustrating not to have it available by default in W7. I've already read the Quick Launch restoration tutorial and tried its various suggestions, but to no avail. Changing the settings in GPEdit.msc, modifying the registry manually and via the regkey -- nothing works. The Quick Launch option simply doesn't show up in the Toolbars menu when I right-click the taskbar.

Any advice? Thanks a lot!

i tried the above brink,... but nothing changed. no quicklaunch.

Hi empireshade. Welcome to the forum. You may be aware that, in Windows 7, the whole of the taskbar is structured now, as the old Quick Launch bar. I think it is mentioned in Shawn's tutorial.

Hey guys, thanks for all the friendly greetings -- hello to you, too!

I used Mr GRiM's method and it works perfectly! To my delight, I can also just drag new shortcuts onto the toolbar and it behaves as before. I've attached a screenshot that should illustrate just how useful I find the Quick Launch toolbar. In addition, you can also see that I use a similar technique in Firefox. It might look like a bizarre array of icons at first, but now that I'm accustomed to them I can work even faster! Now I just need to figure out how to remove that second 'show desktop' icon at the far right...
