The look of the taskbar buttons takes some getting used to. You can change the action, somewhat, but right clicking on the taskbar and going to properties.

After you get used to the aero peek abilities, you may see it differently.

anyone else have this problem?

Click to expand...

Just drag and drop them to the left, beside the Start Icon and they will stay there.

You can add the old taskbar back.

Open Windows Explorer,. navigate to C:\users\youtusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and select the Quick Launch folder

Yes. Left click and move them. Simple as that!
