Hi,
As far as I know, we can enable/disable Quick launch toolbar in Windows 7 manually; you could take the steps in the following Knowledge Base article:
Guided Help: Enable the Quick Launch bar in Windows 7
Considering that you would like to do this programmatically, it is recommended that you go to MSDN forum for further help on this:

Good luck.
