A friend of mine showed me his Windows Vista sitting on his laptop and showed me how he moved his open applications on the task bar by just drag-and-drop operation. I said, its cool and I ask him if it is part of WIndows Vista feature and he said No, this is a freeware utility that you can download.
So I copied the application and installed on my WIndows XP machine laptop and voila! It works like a charm!
One thing I like on this nifty application is that I can re-arrange all my opened applications on the taskbar to the way I like. I normally have Altap Salamander as my first opened application, Firefox is the second and Visual Studio as my third. So if this 3 applications were opened and for example, the Altap Salamander closed unexpectedly, I have to re-open again and this time the app will be placed to the 3rd pane. This is where the Taskbar Shuffle comes into play! Very cool and very slick freeware application. You can also re-arrange your system tray icons by just holding the CTRL key while dragging and dropping.
Did I mention that this is free? Try it out and see for yourself.
