Windows 7 Task Bar Quick Launch buttons
Hi
I have one icon shown in my task bar quick launch icons (bottom left next to Start button).
I happen to know I have 5 icons there, including 'launch internet explorer browser, Mozilla Firefox, Shows Desktop, Window Switcher'.
Only one is showing. I thought it was because it was LOCKED. So I deselected the lock (tick now gone), but I cannot move it, or see any of the little dots or arrows to view the others.
what am I doing wrong??
I am the Administrator.

There is no quick launch button in Windows 7 unless you installed a 3rd party utility. What is shown there next to the Start button are the programs that are pinned to the Task Bar. You can add or remove anything. If you want to add a frequently used program like your email, you right click on it or the shortcut to it and select Pin to Task Bar. You can also right click & drag it to the Task Bar. Look up Pin to Taskbar in Help for more.

I am unable to pin to the taskbar. I have tried to "pin" a shortcut to the taskbar, drag and drop the shortcut, etc. i have tried to unlock the taskbar by right clicking or accessing via properties- it will not unlock. Dell support has said I need to create a new user profile, dump everything into that new one, delete my exisitng profile and then I'll be able to do so, which she was able to demonstrate. This seems rather extreme for what should be an easy to reconcile problem. Any ideas folks?
