This is how to make it look like XP
Right click on a empty space on the taskbar and click on New Tool.
In the Folder line, type or copy:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Click on the Select Folder button.
You now have a Quick Launch toolbar on the taskbar.
Then unlock the taskbar to move it to the left instead of the right side.
