but many times a new program installation will not automatically put a short-cut there for you.
You can create a new short-cut on your Desktop for a program and then click-drag it to Quick Launch;
but it is much handier if you have Quick Launch in the right-click "Send To >" sub-menu.
Here's how to make a short-cut for Quick Launch in "Send To".
1. Start Windows Explorer and navigate to...
C:\Documents and Settings\your User Name\SendTo
(your User Name is the user account that you use to log into Windows.)
2. Right-click a blank area inside the SendTo folder and then click New > Shortcut
3. A Create Shortcut window will open.
In the white space for Type the location of the item: type in...
"C:\Documents and Settings\your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
and click Next > then click Finish and close Windows Explorer.
Now when you want to add one of your favorite programs to the Quick Launch toolbar;
just find it in the Start... Programs > menu, Right-click on it, click Send To > and shoot it straight to Quick Launch.
