    Windows 7 Toolbar...

    Hi guys, i installed windows 7 today, took advantage of the student offer

    i'll cut to the chase, the toolbar is driving me mad!! im basically trying to make it more like vistas,

    ive pinned my frequently used apps to it and ive stopped it merging everything into one icon but is there a way to stop the pinned apps moving around? i just want the icons on the left, like the quick launch icons on the older os's?

    other than that im finding w7 alright, not quite as exciting as everyone said it was, i dont see why it couldnt of just been vistas service back 3

    It means you need to disable window grouping, but that doesn't seem to bother you much. You might want to use the "Use small icons" option as well. But it will behave more 'classic windows taskbar' like.

    Re: Windows 7 Toolbar...

    thats pretty much what im doing, but i'm used to using quick launch for the three or four programmes i use everytime im on the pc.
    its annoying me having to have pinned icons that move around, maybe i'll get used to it...
