I really like the quick launch bar and still use it on all the computers where it is installed - for example, on the workstation on which I am writing this article. But I like it just as much and perfectly replaces the quick launch bar - at least for me. However, a rather vociferous minority of users are vocal in their outrage at the disappearance of the quick launch bar from the new Microsoft OS, so in this article I will tell you how to get it back.Repairing the Quick Launch
On fig. A is shown on one of my test computers. As you can see, there is a taskbar on it, but there is no quick launch bar.
Figure A The taskbar is there, but the quick launch bar is not.
Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar to bring up the context menu shown in Fig. B. Uncheck "Lock the taskbar" and select the menu item "Panels | Create Toolbar" (Toolbars | New Toolbar).
Figure B Select the Create Toolbar menu item.
The New Toolbar - Create a Folder dialog box will appear, as shown in Figure 1. C. Click on the address bar, paste the address below into it without changing anything, and press the key:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Has the toolbar disappeared in Microsoft Word? What to do and how to get access to all those tools without which working with documents is simply impossible? The main thing is not to panic, as it disappeared, it will return, especially since finding this loss is quite simple.
As they say, everything that is not done is for the best, so thanks to the mysterious disappearance of the quick access bar, you can learn not only how to return it, but also how to customize the elements that appear on it. So let's get started.
If you are using Word 2012 and higher, you only need to press one button to return the toolbar. It is located in the upper right part of the program window and looks like an upward arrow located in a rectangle.
Press this button once, the disappeared toolbar returns, press again - it disappears again. By the way, sometimes it really needs to be hidden, for example, when you need to completely and completely concentrate on the content of the document, and so that nothing extra is distracting.
This button has three display modes, you can choose the appropriate one just by clicking on it:
- Automatically hide the ribbon;
- Show only tabs;
- Show tabs and commands.
The name of each of these display modes speaks for itself. Choose the one that is most convenient for you while you work.
If you are using MS Word 2003 - 2010, you must perform the following manipulations to enable the toolbar.
1. Open the tab menu "View" and select the item "Toolbars".
2. Check the boxes next to the items that you need to work.
3. Now all of them will be displayed on the Quick Access Toolbar as separate tabs and/or groups of tools.
Enabling Individual Toolbar Items
It also happens that “disappears” (is hidden, as we have already figured out) not the entire toolbar, but its individual elements. Or, for example, the user simply cannot find any tool, or even an entire tab. In this case, you need to enable (configure) the display of these same tabs on the Quick Access Toolbar. You can do this in the section "Options".
1. Open a tab "File" on the Quick Access Toolbar and navigate to "Options".
Note: In earlier versions of Word, instead of a button "File" there is a button "MS office".
2. In the window that appears, go to the section "Customize Ribbon".
3. In the Main Tabs window, check the boxes next to the tabs you need.
- Advice: By clicking on the plus sign next to the tab name, you will see lists of tool groups that these tabs contain. Expanding the "pluses" of these items, you will see a list of tools presented in groups.
4. Now go to the section "Quick Access Toolbar".
5. Section "Select commands from" select item "All Teams".
6. Go through the list below, finding the necessary tool there, click on it and click the button "Add" between windows.
7. Repeat the same step for all other tools that you want to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Note: You can also delete unwanted tools by clicking the button "Delete", and sort their order using the arrows located to the right of the second window.
- Advice: In chapter "Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar", located above the second window, you can choose whether your changes will be applied to all documents or only to the current one.
8. To close the window "Options" and save your changes, click the button "OK".
Now on the quick access panel (toolbar), only the tabs you need, tool groups and, in fact, the tools themselves will be displayed. By properly configuring this panel, you can noticeably optimize your working time, increasing your productivity as a result.
