Restore classical Taskbar in Windows 7

1. Right-click on a blank area of the taskbar and, remove the checkmark

2. Right-click on a blank area of the taskbar and select "Properties" from
the context menu

3. Put the checkmark next to "use small icons"

4. Select "Never combine" from the drop-down menu located near the "Taskbar
buttons" and click OK

5. Right-click on each icon on the taskbar and select "Unpin this program
from taskbar" from the context menu

6. Right-click an empty space on the taskbar and select "Toolbars -> New
Toolbar from the contextual menu

7. Go to the %SystemDrive%\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Mic
rosoft\Internet Explorer\

8. Highlight the "Quick Launch" and click the button "Select Folder"

9. Right-click on the Quick Launch bar and remove the check mark from the

Waste of time, just download Classic Shell.

Does Classic Shell include a Quick Launch toolbar, or are you saying a Q-L
toolbar isn't necessary if you install Classic Shell?

Where does this info appear in the classicshell.sourceforge.net pages? I
already have a Q-L toolbar with desktop shortcut next to "Start" (using the
long-winded process) and use ClassicWindowsStartMenu (there was no Classic
Shell RC available at the time - just betas). If there is a simpler option
I'll take it if there are problems with what I already have
