Vista Taskbar Order

I've enjoyed using Vista for a long time now, but as with every OS there are some things that I like to tweak to make the experience just right. I found this tip over at the Shell:Revealed blog a while back and use it on my system. I have certain programs open every day and like keeping them ordered the same way in the taskbar all the time. To ensure they always stay where you want, do the following:

Create a file named taskbar.ini in the following location:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\explorer\

With info like so:

[ApplicationSortOrder]
outlook.exe=1
firefox.exe=2

Listing the exe names in the order you want to sort them. After a reboot the programs will be ordered just how you'd like every time.
