Windows 7 Beta: Recreate your own quick launch bar and unpin everything from the taskbar

1. To work around, choose SuperBar (right click) > Toolbars > New Toolbar… and point it to the QL folder that remains for appcompat reasons: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
2. Position your new taskbar where you want it, right click and uncheck “Show Text” and “Show Title” if you wish
3. Unpin existing applications from the SuperBar (they will disappear from the quick launch bar). 
4. Manually add your desired shortcuts from the start menu by holding down click and dragging.
