Master+the+Quick+Launch+Bar

The Quick Launch bar has been around forever, but it is a little more useful in Windows Vista. For starters, it is much easier to add programs to the Quick Launch bar, thanks to the new Add to Quick Launch shortcut menu. First things first though. Make sure the Quick Launch bar is not hidden. If you cannot see it, right click on any empty space on your taskbar and then choose **Toolbars**, **Quick Launch**. Do not feel like aiming at those tiny icons with the mouse pointer? Then use the shortcut keys instead! Each of the first 10 shortcuts on the Quick Launch bar has their own custom keyboard shortcut. Press the **Windows** key on your keyboard plus the number **1** (**Win + 1**) to launch or switch to the first item on the Quick Launch bar. Press **Win + 2** for the second and so on. For shortcut number 10, use **Win + 0**. This again does not work in Win 7
