Comments on: Free up items in the Taskbar

Have you ever wanted to move items around in the Taskbar like you can with tabs in Firefox? Check out Taskbar Shuffle, a recent discovery that does just that.

I haven't tried out Taskbar shuffle yet, but I like to have everything in my taskbar, sort of like a dock(except if I work on something). Free launchbar has been excellent for me. It has a perfect size(about half an inch thick) and I can move stuff around.

Hope this helped :); Like this

Pros: Looks good on the surface.
Cons: When EXPLORER.EXE code is modified by Taskbar Shuffle, other of your programs may stop working.

During installation of Taskbar Shuffle, Zone Alarm warned me that Taskbar Shuffle wanted to modify EXPLORER.EXE. I was uneasy about that, but let the installation proceed anyway. The next time I used my Pegasus Mail Application a few minutes later, it froze and was inoperable. Apparently, Pegasus Mail uses EXPLORER,EXE and expects it to be in its original, unaltered condition. Simply 'uninstalling TaskBar shuffle did not cure the problem. I ended up having to do a disk-surface edit using Acronis Disk Director before I could recover my Pagasus Mail app.; Like this Reply to this comment
