1. Right-click and drag a program or program shortcut from the Desktop or Explorer to the Quick Launch area and choose "Create Shortcuts Here".

2. An even easier way is to right-click a program or program shortcut from Desktop or Explorer and choose "Add to Quick Launch" from the popup menu that follows.
