    Resolved [RESOLVED] Taskbar Rearrangment :)

    Let me see how well I can describe this...

    So, I am busy at work for long hours. I have several windows open: VB, IE, Explorer... If I happen to close one accidentally, or on purpose, and reopen it, the buttons on the task bar are all messed up. I get used to them one way and I am constantly switching between the windows.

    Here is my question: Would I be able, in VB, to 'hook' the taskbar and be able to rearrage the buttons?

    I have no idea what to search for in Google. I happened upon a program once a while back, A REAL LIFE SAVER!. I could just click and drag the buttons using that one.

    Ha! That actually has been a thought of mine, but I have to have XP running! I didn't realize that Windows 7 had that feature! Somebody should start a thread just for Windows 7 tips, tricks, and features!

    Say, that program just might be what I'm looking for!

    Now... Does anybody have a decompiler?
