Interfaces of graphical shells of modern operating systems have a long history of development and improvement. They follow the concepts of ergonomics, intuitiveness and efficiency. Many GUI components are implemented unchanged in almost all shells. This includes the Quick Launch Bar. This component is a small panel with shortcuts to applications or documents. You just need to add the required element to the quick launch panel and in the future it can be launched in one click.
