How To Add The Quick Launch Bar to the Taskbar

There are a lot of people that would  like to know how to make the Windows 7 taskbar work more like XP or Vista. Today we will learn How to Add the Quick Launch Bar to the Taskbar. This is a very useful and nice trick and it’s really easy to do that, although it will take a few more steps.  Follow the instruction and you will get the taskbar like XP or Vista. First thing you will have to do is right-click on an open area of the taskbar, and choose Toolbars > New Toolbar from the menu. Now you have to copy and paste this code on the location bar as a direct path to the folder we are looking for:

Make sure that the location bar displays the full path,  before you choose the “Select Folder” button.When you’re ready you can click on Select Folder button. Please see screenshot below:

Now right-click on the dotted lines and uncheck “Show Text” as well as “Show Title” from the menu.
and that’s all. You will see something like this on your taskbar:
