Re-Arrange Your Taskbar Items with Taskbar Shuffle

I’ve never been one to worry about where my items are located on the taskbar and my philosophy has always been: “If there are too many times on your taskbar and you can’t find stuff you should probably close some applications.” But, since I’ve started working at my new job I’ve realized how this is not always an option for some people.

The users at my workplace require many applications open at the same time to work with various systems related to customer support, sales, and service. Most of these applications are actually web based so they have numerous browser windows open at the same time (we use both IE and Firefox). Because of the workflow of the various aspects of their job it’s good to be able to place items in the taskbar in a logical order where they can find things more easily.

This is where Taskbar Shuffle comes in to play. It’s a small application that runs in the system tray and uses only about 4mb of memory at any given time. It’s also very easy to configure. In fact, most of the time the default installation will provide you with all the settings needed to get you going.

Here is a screenshot of the settings screen with the default settings from a fresh installation:

This little utility is great for those people, like the ones at my workplace, who like to customize their work space. Our users don’t even have admin access to their computers but they can at least use this for some control.

Overall this is a very neat and functional utility and I recommend it for anyone who has the need (or want) to customize their taskbar items. The best part is that it’s completely free! For more information and to get the latest version visit the Taskbar Shuffle website.
