Bring Back The XP/Vista Taskbar In Windows 7

If you want to bring back the XP/Vista style Taskbar do the following

1. Right click the Start button and select Properties.

2. Click the taskbar tab.

3. Check the box that says “Use small icons” and click Apply.

If you don’t like the way Windows 7 combines icons for all instances of an application, on the same tab, click the arrow on the Taskbar Buttons box and select Combine When Taskbar Is Full.
