I have made a number of windows toolbars which are working well, and pop up
from the bottom, with only one minor problem, they always default to being
sorted alphabetically.
I drag the programs up and down and put them how I want them but once the pc
is reset the programs default to an alphabetic order from top to bottom. Is
there a way round this?

I have tried using this file from Kelly's great site, but they still default
to alphabetcal..

Windows XP doesnt save user settings (line 30, left column)

I know this is not a major problem, it's just annoying that I can't find a
way to fix it !

TIA

Delete these keys or values from the registry. This will reset many =
things like saved folder settings.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer and =
delete the value
Shellstate

And these keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stre=
ams
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stuc=
kRects2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam
