Add item to Quicklaunch in First Position?

[Paul]

Hello,
Is it possible for me to add an item to the quicklaunch toolbar, or to
c:\doduments and settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer\QuickLaunch

and I want it to show up as the first item on the quicklaunch, I want
it to be the first item right next to the start menu, not be placed on
the end.
Any way to do this automatically?

I am doing this via a batch script, here is what I am doing:

First I delete the old icon that is there and then copy the new icon
to quicklaunch.

del "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\MyLogin.lnk"

xcopy "c:\Program Files\Software\Apps\Login.lnk" "C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch"

Any ideas?
thanks.

To move the icon, just left click on it and drag it where you want, no
batch file needed.

Hi Paul,

Unlock the Taskbar and simply drag it over. Then relock the Taskbar. If it
doesn't stay there, run Save Settings on Exit from line 54:

There is no need to unlock the Taskbar to move an icon.

I think I need to clarify...
I am using a batch script to add the item to the QuickLaunch, I am not
doing this by hand because I have 50+ PC's to do it on.
However when I add it to c:\documents and settings\%username%
\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\Quicklaunch - it goes
to the end of the quicklaunch, or on the little >> context menu if
there are to many items there already.

I know I can move it to the first position by clicking and dragging,
my users however do not.
I wanted to some how automatically do it so that when they logged in
it would be in the first position.

Move all of the other icons to a temp folder (move
c:\path_to_quicklaunch\*.* c:\temp_path), copy yours there, then move the
other ones back. I haven't tried this as I've learned that no matter where I
think things should be on the desktop, people always put them where they
want them.

And they're too dumb to learn?
