Windows 7 QuickStart bar

I have always started BR by creating a shorcut on the desktop. In XP and Vista I can then drag the shortcut to the QuickStart bar, but in Windows 7 it will not allow this to happen.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks

So you have enabled the quick launch bar? I believe it is disabled by default in Windows 7 because of the way the taskbar works. If you right click on the shortcut do you have an option to pin to taskbar/quick launch?

OK, I figured it out, thanks for the clue Matt.
You have to create a folder somewhere - I made it in DOCUMENTS and put the shortcuts in there. You then have to create a NEW TOOL BAR (right click NEW TOOLBAR) and point it to the newly created folder. You can then right click the new toolbar and get rid of the text descriptions if you want to. The new tool bar can be positioned to the right or left of the task ribbon.
