JumpLaunch turns your Quick Launch folder into a Windows 7 Jump List
Plenty of people were thrown off by the Quick Launch toolbar's disappearance from Windows 7. It hadn't actually disappeared, per se - it's just hiding where you're not likely to notice it.
You can handle this a couple of different ways. The Superbar still supports toolbars, so you can right click it, choose toolbars -> new toolbar and paste "%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick launch" in the folder box. That's a pretty Windows 95 way to do it, though.
Why not quickly convert your Quick Launch folder to a Windows 7 Jump List?
JumpLaunch is a small, portable app designed to do just that. Download and unzip the archive to a folder on your PC, launch the app, and you're presented with a window containing all the shortcuts currently residing in your hidden Quick Launch folder. Adding other items is as simple as drag-and-drop.
JumpLaunch is a free download, is tailor made for Windows 7, and works with both the 32 and 64-bit builds.

The quick launch toolbar is completely unnecessary in Windows 7 since you can just pin those apps to the taskbar. You're really creating a quick launch toolbar, it's just not separate from the rest of the taskbar any more.

Looked forward to it and it was able to neatly have shortcuts from my Quick Launch folder. Unfortunately, it didn't actually launch any of them when clicked, double clicked, triple clicked, etc.
