I have to move to Windows 7 from XP. I'm used to launch applications from quick launch in task bar. So, to be able to have several icons in quick launch, I placed task bar at left in XP. That's how it looks like in XP:

Now, I'm trying to do the same in Windows 7, but it only allows one icon per row (instead of three or more, depending on width of taskbar, in XP):

Is there a way to achieve same behavior in Windows 7?

Your QuickLaunch is not really QuickLaunch. You have icons pinned to Task Bar.

I have something like this when I move bar to left:

enter image description here

This is how I enabled normal Quick Launch: Microsoft Support link

I also unpinned all icons from taskbar and changed many options in taskbar properties. Now it acts just like XP taskbar.

  • Did not know the concept of pinned icons. That is what I've been looking for. Nice xD

It doesn't appear that is possible. However, you're not the first to ask for that. There appears to be a work around that provides something similar.

  • Although it's discouraged: Thanks. I really googled, but I wasn't able to figure out the appropriated way to ask.

  • I think you missunderstood question. It is possible to add Quick Launch to Windows 7 and it acts like Quick Launch in XP. See my answer.
