No - Not in Windows 8 or anything like that. Still not sure why Microsoft decided to start excluding it with their OS. But although I've been running Win7 for quite a while, I didn't know it didn't have a Quick Launch Bar until last week when I stumbled on it during a conversation with someone.
That's because whenever I format a pc, the first thing I install (for the past 11 years) is True Launch Bar.
With True Launch Bar you can have your Quick Launch Bar back. It can look and feel exactly as you remember. Or you can use the ton of free addons to enhance it into a beast that will get you back to work and not searching for what you need.
Just try it. You'll like it. I love it. But I'm a pretty lovable guy. erm ... I mean ... nah, that'll do. :love:
If you try TLB and decide to buy it, you'll want to see what I wrote about it on the official Web Hosting Talk facebook page. :wht:
