Taskbar Shuffle

Taskbar Shuffle is a neat little tool that allows you to move programs around on your Windows task bar. That’s essentially all it does. You install it, with options to put it completely in the background if you wish. It starts with Windows unless you tell it not to. Then, whenever you want to rearrange the buttons for programs you have running, all you do is click and drag them wherever you want them.
There are no hot keys, and nothing to fool with once it’s installed. There are options to group similar tabs and all that, if you want to use them, but mostly there’s just the convenience of having task bar buttons where you want them. This is not a problem that has troubled me, but if you like to run several programs at once - especially if you like to bounce back and forth - Taskbar Shuffle may be just what you’ve been looking for. It’s freeware, but if you like it why not drop a buck or two in the guy’s kitty?

Using it and enjoying it. Wonder why it’s not a feature built into Windows…

We can add that to the list of Good Questions, along with such as:
Why don’t they include a decent firewall with full two-way controls;
Why is the OS three times as large on the HDD as it needs to be;
Why, with a billion dollars or so worth of engineers, does every release have to be tweaked and prodded into submission before it’s ready for prime time — if it ever is;
Why aren’t some of those engineers working day and night to develop a lightweight, lean, back-compatible Windows replacement instead of adding to the bloat, memory-hogging and bugs with every release of obsolete code;
why did they bother with Vista at all..?
Anyone who wants to, feel free to chime in here. We could probably start a whole community.
