The Quicklaunch bar is a convenient toolbar containing shortcuts to commonly used programs.

You will have used it in Windows from 98 to 2000, and you probably became used to it sitting in the bottom left of the taskbar next to the start button.

You also probably missed it when you started using XP,

Worry not, the Quicklaunch bar is still there, if not by default.

Possibly to make room for the larger start button graphic in XP, Microsoft decided to have the Quicklaunch bar present only as an option.

To re‐enable the Quicklaunch bar:

Right click on the time display in the lower right corner of the taskbar and select ʹProperties.ʹ

Now look for the option entitled ʹShow Quick launch.ʹ Enable it.

Now that once your Quick launch bar is back, you can drag and drop shortcuts onto it from the desktop in order to customize it.
