I always prefer to work with the same set of applications every time I use my computer. For example, I first load Office Outlook, My Computer, IE or Firefox and then followed by other files that I usually refer at work. Since I pretty much use this all the time, I am used to the location of these items in the Taskbar. If an application crashes, then all the items in the taskbar gets messed up in terms of the position.
So how to rearrange the taskbar items in windows XP or Vista?
Taskbar Shuffle is the application what you need. Its so simple and all that you have to do to rearrange any items in the taskbar is by just by drag and drop.
You can also reorder the icons in the system tray with this application and also reorder the grouped items.
With the new Taskbar Shuffle 2.5 release, you can use the middle-click to close the taskbar item like in Firefox.
Download Taskbar Shuffle – In case if you dont want any registry changes to be made or you don’t want to load at startup, you can also download it without installer.
Is there any such utility for Windows XP too?
Looks nice. Will download it and try it.
@Haris, This works on Windows XP too…So enjoy…
Hi! omg i so totally love it! I was wondering if there was anything out there like this for the longest time (:
I’ve used this one too. Also works with Windows 2000.
OMFG, I love this tool! Always wondered why MS never built this directly into Windows. After downloading, I donated $20 to the author.
Nice find, I’ll try on my Vista.
Nice tool. It’s great to discover this kind of free useful tool. Thanks for recommending!
Along with Launchy, this is usually the first thing I install on a Windows machine. It’s so simple, but really handy.

@Sherry, If you want additional taskbars maybe you can try to install some docks. They are very helpful.

The taskbar shuffle does not work with Vista. It will not let me move open windows like Internet Explorer around on the taskbar. Why? My taskbar is not locked.
