TaskArrange - Rearrange Taskbar Buttons

[jo]

http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/programs/taskarrange.html

======================

TaskArrange is a simple utility that lets you rearrange the buttons of
the Windows taskbar.

Sometimes we open our programs in a specific sequence, to keep their
taskbar buttons in a desired order. But what happens if a program
crashes or we close it, and then we open it again? That's right - its
task button ends up last in the taskbar. Windows itself does not allow
us to move the task buttons around, so we are stuck with two options:
either accept the new order, or close everything and reopen them in the
preferred order. TaskArrange brings an end to this annoyance, by letting
us do exactly what we want: reorder the task buttons.

=========================

This does just what it says. No install. 20kb file size.
Dunno why anybody would want it though...

IIRC, the expression is: 'do you never sleep?'

It would be nice if it did. IMO however I don't think it does. Button
Boogie does other things than just re-arrange taskbar buttons. It also
does automatic resizing of windows etc. Though I haven't got it to
consistently work correctly in that regard with Firefox etc.

From the Known Issues section in the help file:

There are a few possible problems you might run into:

The "taskbar buttons grouping" option in Windows XP makes it impossible
to separate the grouped buttons and sometimes interferes with the
movement of plain, non-grouped buttons. So, it is recommended that you
turn this option off (right-click on the taskbar, select Properties and
uncheck "Group similar taskbar buttons") if you use TaskArrange.

This also does what it says in that if you've got the option to
group similar taskbar buttons selected, then it won't work. Pity, but
that's how it behaves on my WinXP Pro system.
