How to Pin or Unpin a Program to the Windows 7 Taskbar (Shorcut quick launch)

information   Information
By default Quick Launch is disabled in Windows 7. This will show you how to enable or disable Quick Launch as a taskbar toolbar using small or large icons in Windows 7.
Note   Note
Quick Launch is a toolbar on the taskbar. Quick Launch is used to open a program quickly from a shortcut from within it separate from the pinned programs on the taskbar.
The Quick Launch folder is located at the hidden system folder location below to add shortcuts to.
C:\Users\(user-name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Tip   Tip
Microsoft has made available a hotfix that will resolve a problem where the taskbar customizations are lost and reset to defaults when automatic logon is enabled in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. More details are available at FIX: The Taskbar is reset to the default settings when you use the "Automatically Log On" feature in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2.


If you still have the issue of where the pinned Quick Launch used in this tutorial disappears on you after logging off and on or restarting the computer, then a workaround for this issue is to either:

EXAMPLE: Default Windows 7 Taskbar

EXAMPLE: Quick Launch Enabled on Right Side of Taskbar NOTE: This is the new Quick Launch toolbar with text and title, small icons, or large icons.



EXAMPLE: Quick Launch Enabled on Left Side of Taskbar NOTE: This is the new Quick Launch toolbar without text and title, and with small icons or large icons.
