Well as stated in a previously post it is a very easy task to add that QuickStart / QuickLaunch (whatever you want to call it) toolbar to your taskbar.

Some people will still miss one thing  if they follow the guide and that is a) the “Show Desktop” icon and b) the “Window Switcher” that was included in Vista.
To add both of them simply open the Explorer (Windows + E) and browse to the folder:

C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Copy the icons via STRG+C and locate your QuickLaunch folder and paste them in there via STRG+V.
