Windows 7 Taskbar Secrets
The Windows Taskbar has been around just about forever, but with the introduction of Windows 7 there have been many enhancements. Learn the secrets of how to configure and operate the Taskbar to suit your style.
Chapter One: Introducing the Windows 7 Taskbar - “How to Customize Your Windows Taskbar on Your Desktop”
Many people may not realize (because they have never tried it), that in Windows there are ways to change the taskbar and desktop to a configuration that will work better for you.
Chapter Two: Windows 7 Quick Launch Buttons - “The Quick Launch buttons have new functionality in Windows 7”
One of the more important features in any computer operating system is the ability to quick launch programs and later find the open program windows. Windows 7 has enhanced this capability—but is it easier?
Chapter Three: Windows 7 Jump Lists and Pinning - “Unique Windows 7 Quick Launch and Program Tab Capabilities”
Taking advantage of Windows 7's Jump Lists and pinning files can make your computing quicker and more organized.
Chapter Four: Right-click Solutions - “Windows 7 Quick Launch Confusion”
A user is puzzled by the changes to the Quick Launch feature in Windows 7. In essence, the key to Windows 7 is learning to make liberal use of clicking the right button on your mouse and selecting the appropriate option.
Chapter Five: Give Me Back My Old Quick Launch - “Restoring the Windows XP Quick Launch Bar in Windows 7”
Last chapter, after Jack looked at the inconsistencies and aggravation that can come from the Windows 7 taskbar Quick Launch/program tabs, a reader writes in with a tip on restoring the Windows XP Quick Launch bar.
Chapter Six: A Toolbar Trick - “Add Your Own Toolbar to the Taskbar for Easier Windows File Navigation”

Chapter Eight: Put Your Desktop on Your Taskbar - “Adding the Desktop Toolbar to the Windows Taskbar”
A tip for making the Desktop toolbar available directly from the Windows taskbar. The taskbar will display and give access to everything that appears on your Desktop.
Chapter Nine: Returning to Windows XP Right-Click Menus - “How to Use the Old Windows XP/Vista Right-Click Menu”
In the Windows 7 taskbar, it's not as easy to restore, maximize or minimize all of the windows under the tab when there are multiple instances of a program running. Here's how to restore Vista and XP's old right-click menu. Plus, Jack demonstrates some of the power of this older right-click menu.
