The Quick Launch bar is the area of the Taskbar directly beside
the Start button. It contains shortcuts to programs and files
you use frequently such as Internet Explorer. Adding items to
the Quick Launch area lets you access them easily with a single
click. You can also move your Quick Launch to your desktop to
free up space on your Taskbar. This also enables you to have larger
icons.
