 Taskbar Functions:

Close all programs except your browser (optional, but recommended)

Remove old icons:

Right-click the first icon on taskbar (IE by default), and select 'Unpin this program from taskbar'
Do this for the rest of the icons

Make icons small and add text:
Right-click Taskbar > 'Properties'
Check 'Use small icons'
Select 'Never combine' instead of 'Always combine, hide labels'
Click 'OK' button

Add Quick Launch:

Go to folder '%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer'

Click once on 'Quick Launch', and click 'Select Folder' button
