Another very useful tip is to use Quick launch button:

In a previous TR Dojo Challenge question, I asked TechRepublic members TR Dojo Challenge: How do you enable the Quick Launch toolbar on Windows 7? And several members were quick to answer the call. Here are the steps.

Right click on an empty space on the Windows 7 taskbar and make sure “Lock the taskbar” is NOT checked. This will allow us to move the Quick Launch bar once we reactivate it.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
Right click on an empty space on the Windows 7 taskbar and from the resulting Context Menu, click Toolbars and then New Toolbar.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
When the New Toolbar – Choose a folder window appears, paste the following path into the location bar:
%appdata%MicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchRestore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7

Once you’re certain that the path shows AppData | Roaming | Microsoft | Internet Explorer | Quick Launch, click Select Folder.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7The Quick Launch toolbar will now appear on the Windows 7 taskbar, but it will be on the right side of the screen next to the System Tray. Let’s move it back to the left side where the toolbar should be.
Click on the left edge (dotted lines) of the new Quick Launch toolbar, and drag it over to the left as far as it will go.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
To remove the text labels shown on the Quick Launch toolbar, right-click on the left edge of the toolbar (dotted lines) and from the resulting Context Menu, uncheck both “Show Text and “Show Title. At this point, the Quick Launch toolbar looks like it did in Windows XP and Vista, but it’s still on the wrong side of the taskbar.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
Click and drag the left edge of the regular Windows taskbar toolbar (dotted lines to the right of the Start button) to the left of the taskbar, over the new Quick Launch toolbar. This will move the main area of the taskbar to the right of your new Quick Launch bar and place the Quick Launch bar next to the Start button. Stop when both toolbars are the size you want.Restore the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
You can now drag and drop your favorite applications or shortcuts onto the new Quick Launch toolbar and “unpin” the default applications from the regular taskbar.

Once you finished adding things to the Quick Launch toolbar, right-click a blank space on the taskbar and click “Lock the taskbar”.
I also like to enable “Use small icons” under the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties menu.

With the new Quick Launch toolbar in place, no applications “pinned” to the regular taskbar, small icons in use, and the taskbar locked, my Desktop is just the way I like it.

And the TechRepublic swag goes to…
This week’s coffee mugs and laptop stickers to ak87, who was first to describe the process through Step 5, robert.johnson2, who provided the first complete answer, and to Samuel Leung, who submitted a well-written answer and links to a YouTube video that demonstrates the process.

Thanks to everyone who submitted an answer.

One good tip to make your start menu status bar (task bar) show more programs is to press with right button on menu and then remove the Lock and put the cursor at some edge somewhere until it shows with up / down arrow then just stretch it and double its size.

Big Church Scandal in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church the developments on how the Church basic law Establishment document is illegally broken and hope and action for truth to be restored

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!

Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards
Georgi
