Taskbar Shuffle problem?

I downloaded Taskbar Shuffle 2.5. Main reason why I chose that over some other programs is that it supports Windows 2000. But after running it on an Windows XP machine I could se that Taskbar Shuffle used VERY much memory, 110MB. I wonder how it can be. On my Vista machine I have not seen this behavior at all. Normally stay around 2,5MB. I might have read the numbers in Process Explorer wrong on the XP machine. But I do not think so.

On the Windows XP machine I installed Taskix to see how that works. OK, it does not have all features. But it seems to stay at only using 1MB of memory. More like what I would expect a small utility like this.

xNeat also makes a program to shuffle the taskbar which looks nice. As do their clipboard program. But this is not freeware.

Update(2008-10-11): after monitoring Taskbar Shuffle on my vista machine I get the feeling I look wrong on the XP machine. So I guess I need to have a look again on the XP machine. But the XP machine was using very much memory and TS looked very big.

Update(2008-10-16): now I have been able do try Taskbar Shuffle on XP again. And it directly start using 110MB of memory. And it is REAL memory. I will use Taskix on XP for now.

Rearrange the taskbar

This is one feature I have been waiting for MicroSoft to put into Windows for a long time. I just do not understand why it is not there. Especially now when tabs are so popular and all software use them and can rearrange the tabs. I have not used GUI that much in Linux. But now I have at least one desktop running Gnome 2.22 on Linux. And there it work great with moving the applications on the panel. And it probably have for a long time.

I have not really look for how to write my own program that do this. Or looked hard on the internet if somebody else have done it. But the other day when I read lifehacker I ran into this. It was linked to by some other entry. It mentions a program called Taskbar Shuffle. It looked like an active project so I downloaded and tried. It works fine, both in Windows 2000 and Vista.

I also search little bit on the internet. And found another program named Taskix. I have not tired it. It say it only support Windows XP or later. Taskbar Shuffle can move icons in the system tray, I see nothing about that in Taskix.
