Does any software exist for Windows XP to change the order of items in the taskbar?

Could someone recommend a utility that would allow me to change the order of taskbar items in Windows XP, ideally just by dragging them, similar to reordering tabs in Firefox?

if you kill explorer.exe from Task Manager, then restart it (or let it restart automatically), it'll reorder the items for you. :) (i'm joking. it does work that way, but be careful if you do this; it can be dangerous.) – quack quixote May 5 '10 at 6:36

I used to use this program before I upgraded from XP:

Taskbar Shuffle

Taskbar Shuffle is a simple, small, free utility that lets you drag and drop your Windows taskbar buttons to rearrange them. Here’s a full feature list:

  • Full 32-bit and 64-bit support
  • Reorder your taskbar buttons by dragging and dropping them
  • Reorder your tray icons in the same way
  • Reorder tasks in a grouped button's popup menu in the same way
  • Middle-click to close programs on your taskbar
  • Works with UltraMon (version 3+ only) taskbars
  • Tweak taskbar button grouping

I've found Taskix, which does what I want. It's only a 244KB download and installs without a reboot (which is a rarity for system utilities!)
