Alternative to Missing Quick Launch bar in Windows 7… Pin to Taskbar

If you have recently updated from Windows Xp to Windows 7 then there are the chances that you may miss a lot of settings as well as be surprise with many enhancements implemented in this latest version of Microsoft Windows.

Among the missing the Quick Launch bar is one of the most important feature which has given a new look/setting in windows 7. Though there is not any direct link which can give you the direct access to the feature which you are familiar with in Windows XP but is replaced with the Pin to Taskbar menu option.. which appears with the right mouse click over any Windows Start menu Programs.

As shown in the picture above right click on any program using mouse button and click to pin to task-bar menu , doing so will place a small icon with your chosen program as shown besides the Windows Start Button of Windows Media Player. This small icon can be used to direct launch the program just by clicking on it.

Though I like this enhancement what about you?
