How to place shortcuts on your Quick Launch Toolbar

2000/XP/VISTA Only
The easiest way to do this in 2000/XP/VISTA is a 2-step process. 

- First, right click on the Windows Explorer icon found in Start>All Programs>Accessories and select ‘Send to’ and choose Desktop.  The shortcut will show up on the desktop. 

- Now just drag and drop onto your quicklaunch section of the taskbar.

 

WIN7 Only
Windows 7 uses a hybrid taskbar/quick launch arangement, and it is much easier to get shortcuts on the taskbar. 

- Simply right click on any application in Start>All Programs and select “Pin to Taskpar”
