Display the Quick Launch Toolbar
 

I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Display the Quick Launch Toolbar

Is your Quick Launch toolbar missing from the taskbar?

To display the familiar Quick Launch toolbar:

• Right-click an empty area on the taskbar.
• Click Toolbars, and then click Quick Launch.

Easy as that your Quick Launch bar appears.

To add items to your Quick Launch toolbar:

• Click the icon for the program you want to add, and drag it to the Quick Launch portion of the taskbar.
