Windows 7 does not have a Quick Launch toolbar unless you use a third party program such as this.

It doesn't take a 3rd party program to enable the quick launch. From the link you posted:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right-click the taskbar, choose Toolbars / New Toolbar
In the folder selection dialog, enter the following string and hit OK:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Turn off the “lock the taskbar” setting, and right-click on the divider. Make sure that “Show text” and “Show title” are disabled and the view is set to “small icons”.
Use the dividers to rearrange the toolbar ordering to choice, and then lock the taskbar again.
