====Pinned applications====

The Windows 7 taskbar is more application-oriented than window-oriented, and therefore doesn't show window titles (these are shown when an application icon is clicked or hovered over). Applications can now be pinned to the taskbar allowing the user instant access to the applications they commonly use. There are a few ways to pin applications to the taskbar. Icons can be dragged and dropped onto the taskbar, or the application's icon can be right-clicked to pin it to the taskbar. The Quick Launch toolbar has been removed from the default configuration, but maycan be easilymanually added back.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/ |title= Add the Quick Launch Bar to the Taskbar in Windows 7 |author= <!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |publisher= How-To Geek |access-date= 21 March 2013 |archive-date= 17 September 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130917161044/http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/ |url-status= live }}</ref> The Windows 7 taskbar is more application-oriented than window-oriented, and therefore doesn't show window titles (these are shown when an application icon is clicked or hovered over).
