So far I have come across this with two other programs and ended up reinstalling and repairing them

Does anyone have an easier fix?

820875 2009-10-16 00:53:00 By default Windows 7 does not have a quick launch bar, you can activate it but I found that it disappeared now and again.

You can right click on any Icon or program & choose either 'pin to task bar' or 'pin to start menu'. You end up with the same thing except that it stays there!

Otherwise, go into the programs installation directory, right-click on it and go "send to --> desktop" and then pin the new desktop shortcut to the taskbar :)
