Again, that's your personal opinion. However, it's probably a good idea to allow users to configure the task bar just like in Windows Vista and Windows XP.

That's fine, just don't *remove* functionality in the process. They have removed the Quick Launch toolbar. I want it back. Allow me to configure it the way *I* want.

Here is where it is in Windows 7.

Go to Toolbar's/New Toolbar/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Internet Explorer.


This makes no sense. Where is this location? Where is "Toolbars"?

The tip that FBonWin provided will do what you want. Here are the steps:

1. Right click on the taskbar go in to properties and change the checkbox to show small icons.
2. Right click on the taskbar and click to Unlock the taskbar
3. Right click on the taskbar and choose Toolbars then New Toolbar then navigate to the folder Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and click the select folder option.
4. Internet Explorer will be shown on your taskbar, expand it to the left
5. Expand the taskbar to two lines
6. Click on the Quick Launch folder to open a window with program shortcuts. Drag the shortcuts you want to the Internet Explorer toolbar
7. Right click on the Internet Explorer label and uncheck show title and show text
8. Viola - quick launch icons with no text, just icons.
