Hello Steevan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Do you mean something like RocketDock maybe?

What make of laptop do you own and what did the dock/taskbar do ?

I've had a few Acer laptops that come pre installed with something similar to Rocket dock.I know that HP Touch Smart also comes with something similar to a taskbar as well.

You could try your manufacturers site and look under the drivers/applications section on the website. With Acer you have to download and install each application into the "Dock" one at a time. Obviously these are dependant on your make and model of P.C and are completely separate from W7.

Hope that helps you out. :D

Right Click on your desktp, then 'personalize'. On the left, click on 'Taskbar and Start Menu'. See if you can find it again.
