I’m a bit neurotic when launching apps on my Windows XP machine. I want to have apps in my taskbar in a particular order. Outlook first, some editor (Dreamweaver, Zend Studio, etc.) second, ssh terminals next, and browsers last. I guess it gives me a sense of organization. I won’t get into a frenzy if it’s not in that order, but I generally spend the time launching apps in that particular order, which brings me to a neat little utility that my co-worker was using: Taskbar Shuffle. It basically allows you to rearrange your taskbar items much like you can rearrange tabs in Firefox.

This blurb from the developer’s site pretty much sums it up:

“No need to get all nervous when an application crashes or if you need to reboot; you can reorder your programs exactly as they were anytime by just dragging and dropping them directly within your Windows taskbar!”
