I suspect that the reason for your question is to be able to access your applications when the screen is full without needing to minimize your current work. If that is your desire, try this: Right click your taskbar>Toolbars>new toolbar. In that dialog box, first left click "Desktop" (at the top of the window list) and then in the lower left select "Make new folder." A new folder will appear on your desktop. Drag that folder to the margin of your screen(left/right/top) and drop it there. You now have a new toolbar. A right click on the toolbar header will give the options for "Always on top," and "Auto Hide." Any shortcuts placed into the toolbar folder will appear in the new toolbar. All context menu default activity for shortcuts is available inside the toolbar. Drag and drop to rearrange to your liking. Then bumping that screen margin with your cursor/pointer will cause the toolbar to pop out with your shortcuts-one click-just like Quick Launch. Available on all three margins.
