I keep my computer at work running almost always. I usually only restart it when Microsoft comes out with their monthly updates (and then I hold off as long as I can). I keep a lot of windows open on my desktop too, some of the windows are open for as long as my computer has been up (like my main explorer window, my editor and some utilities). After a couple weeks you get used to the locations of those long running apps on the Window's taskbar, but once you close a window and restart it the icon on the taskbar gets moved to the end of the list. To me (and probably not more than a handful of geeks in the world) this throws things off. So here is a little app that allows you to drag and drop your taskbar icons around which is a great feature that I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't already done (at least in XP). It's called Taskbar Shuffle.
