HEY YOU!
Yea you!
Yea you!
Do you have Windows 7? Can't stand the weird superbar? Want things the way they should be? Read on.
What will this tutorial cover?
I'll show you how to add quick launch back on to the taskbar, ungroup programs/show text and allow you to have MSN hidden away in the tray instead of taking up program space on the taskbar.
STEP #1
Get Windows 7 ffs
STEP #2
Kay so you start up Windows 7 for the first time and are all like YAY, then you see the taskbar and your heart drops. You must have seen something atrocious like the following:
STEP #3
Right click that fat son-of-a-bitch (your taskbar) and click on "Properties".
STEP #4
Change the options so that they are similar to the following:
STEP #5
Kay, this isn't really a step, but you should have something liek dis:
STEP #6
Quick launch! Right click your slim jim (taskbar) and click on "Toolbars" then "New toolbar"
STEP #7
Pop this in to the folder textbox (word for word!):
Click "Select Folder"
STEP #8
Nowwww you have a shitty quick launch that looks worse than poop on a sad twig. Right-click that hoe and uncheck "Show text", "Show title", then click "view" and select "Use small icons".
...Not like I did here
STEP #9
Move your quick launch to where you want it to be (click and drag that section of studded dots around). In the end, you should have something like this (image is big, click the link to see it):

Move on to fix MSN, or stop here if you don't feel like it.
STEP #10
Right-click any MSN shortcut you have, or the MSN EXE itself, and click "Properties"
STEP #11
Check off "Run in compatibility mode" in the "Compatibility" tab, then select Windows Vista (service pack 2 is best).
Click Apply
STEP #12
If you followed the entire tutorial, your final result should have the following features (without the red squares of course):
