Programs appear as an icon shortcut in Quick Launch bar, and with just a single click on the shortcut’s icon, users can run the program instantly, saving considerable time by eliminating the need to navigate and locate the program in Start Menu. And since, Quick Launch bar is located on taskbar, so no other open windows may block or obscure the shortcuts in it, unlike desktop shortcuts.
