Is there any way to rearrange the order of the buttons for open
application
on the windows task bar. For example if I have open in this order, word,
IE
windows, and Outlook how could I change the order to Outlook, IE word
without
closing and repoening?
There is only one order: the order in which you opened them. If you enable
grouping of buttons (so several of them for the same application are grouped
under one button), that may alter they order.
PC Magazine has a Button Boogie utility that lets you rearrange the buttons
in the Windows taskbar (
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,26176,00.asp).
Whoa, hold on now. I only mention it because I used to use it under Windows
2000. It will not work under Windows XP because a different taskbar program
is used to which Button Boogie cannot communicate. "The program doesn't
work under Windows XP, because Windows XP implements the taskbar in a
completely different way from other Windows platforms." So it might be
possible, or Microsoft goofed and removed whatever would've made that
feature possible.
You could always do a Google search yourself, like search on "+"Windows XP"
+button +taskbar +rearrange". I saw TaskArrange in this search but have
never heard of it before. Feeling like a guinea pig to test it out?
