    Now, as you can see in the attached file, I have several folders opened in my taskbar, opera and HWMonitor.
    Now, say I`d like to have Opera first, and not HWMonitor, could I force-slide the box for opera in the first place in the taskbar instead of HWmonitor?
    Kinda like moving a tab in Opera into another position...

    I have always been able to unlock the taskbar, re-order the icons via simple drag-and-drop, and re-lock the taskbar and have the order persist.

    The open programs show in the order opened.

    Taskbar or Quick launch bar? I think you are talking about the Quick launch bar, no?

    I believe the discussion here is about changing the order of the opened programs.

    Either/or. I do not actually use the QL bar, only a toolbar built from a folder of shortcuts
    Yes. My bad.

    For the taskbar you definitely need the programs presented above. Pretty neat, it`s just one of those things that you have to have in a certain way ;)
