Windows 7 Beta (7000) users can add the Quick Launch toolbar, as seen in the Build 7025 screenshots, to their taskbar by following these instructions.

1. Open up your Windows desktop
2. Right click the taskbar
3. Mouseover “Toolbars”
4. Click “New Toolbar…”
5. Copy: %userprofile%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch into the “Folder” field
6. Select that folder
7. Now, dragging the Quick Launch bar can be a bit difficult. Make sure to unlock your taskbar (Right click on tasbar, click “Lock the taskbar” if it is locked). Instead of dragging the Quick Launch toolbar to the left of the pinned items, try dragging the pinned items bar (with the dotted lines to the left of the pinned items) to the right of the Quick Launch.
8. Before unlocking, you can right click it to modify the settings.

• Disabling “Show Text” and “Show Title” will make it more like the XP, Vista classic Quick Launch bar.
• Mousing over “View” and clicking “Large icons” will make the icons look more like the pinned icons.
