Taskbar Organizer for Windows

Used Taskbar Organizer for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

Easily rearrange entries on your Taskbar with this tiny application. Taskbar Organizer's plain dialog opens with a simple list of current windows. You choose a window and click on a huge arrow to move the window up or down the list. A quick click to apply the new order and the windows rearrange immediately. Our only gripe with Taskbar Organizer is it opens each time with the list in alphabetical order. That forces most users to rearrange the list. The application has no option to open with the items in their current order. Anyone can quickly grasp this application. It needs no help file and easily fits on a USB memory stick. Most users will find this freeware useful and beneficial.

Didn't work

Pros
it downloaded correctly
Cons
I did not work. I would direct it to move the tabs on the task bar and hit the update button. The tabs would shimmy a bit as if they were attempting to rearrange, but then they would display in the exact same order they were already in.
Summary
I ended up downloading and installing taskArrange.exe. This program has worked flawlessly, and has a much more elegant interface.If you're looking for a free program to rearrange the tabs on your taskbar I would reccommend using TaskArrange.exe instead.
Nice But hard to work with

Pros
its realy free, it realy can change the order of the widows in the taskbar
Cons
It is not easy to use.
Summary
In a world that everything is Drag-Drop it is shame to use up and down buuton to arrange the order through an extra window!!!
Perfect for my needs.

Pros
Great program for anyone that likes to have their taskbar setup a certain way. <p>This program works on my Vista 64-bit laptop as well as on a Citrix Environment. Haven't tried it yet but I would assume it would even work as a portable application.
Cons
Not really that important but you can't see the program in your taskbar so at times you could forget that you are running it if you have a lot of programs open so you could easily open the program more than once without any real notice.

Excellent

Cool tool but

Summary
Cool tool but lacking in features. Recommend checking out Taskbar Commander. Taskbar Commander not only remembers the order but will make sure that your favorite apps remain in the same place.
Great Tool but needs improvements

Summary
Use it once and it is great. Moves those little icons just where you want them. Open it again and it forgot that you had already moved the icons, now you have to doit again for all of them. It forgets the settings that it set.
Great Tool, but needs a tweak

Pros
Cons
Summary
This is exactly the tool I was looking for. I have to agree, though, that it needs to respect the order of the current applications listed. Still - Cool app!
Works great on W2k Server

Great product, I have been looking so something like this for years.
Great but could be a little better

Summary
Great program, but something is really missing. Startup order. When you start the program, it won't respect the current taskbar order. You must re-order everything the way they are.

Developer’s Description

By Vitas Enterprises

Arange the programs in the Windows Taskbar in the order you want.

Taskbar Organizer enables you to rearrange the program entries on your Windows taskbar to your liking instead of the Windows default arrangement. When you open a program, Windows adds an entry to the end of the taskbar, which is sometimes inconvenient. Now you can reorder the tabs on the taskbar anytime you like, keeping similar programs together or moving your favorite program next to the Start button. This program doesn't affect the QuickLaunch buttons in any way and rearranges only the open windows portion of the taskbar.
