- 1@everyone, I think the question is perfectly clear... a "quick launch icon" is a shortcut in the taskbar's "quick launch" area (next to the Start menu). It used to be a folder in the user's profile, but in Windows 7 it has changed (btw, in most current installers, the feature that tries to create such an icon actually doesn't work in Win7)Thomas Levesque– Thomas Levesque2010-09-01 15:08:43 +00:00Commented Sep 1, 2010 at 15:08

Create a .lnk file in the c:\users\mumble\appdata\roaming\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch folder. Beware that the Quick Launch toolbar is disabled by default in Win7, I don't remember what I did to re-enable it.
Creating the .lnk file takes secret sauce as well. You can find sample code in my answer in this thread.
