Default Icons on the task bar

My icons wont go in the correct order. I like to group them on the task bar
in an order that makes more sense. I can't find a way to customize them so
I need your help. I've tried removing them, rebooting then putting them
back on the task bar in the preferred order. Then when I reboot, they go
back to some other order.

Help me; Thanks

Delete these keys or values from the registry. This will reset many =
things like saved folder settings.
Type Regedit in Start - Run
Click Start - Turn Off Computer (or maybe Shutdown) - Ctrl + Alt + Shift =
+ click Cancel (or Close) (your Desktop and Start Menu now disappear).


In Regedit navigate to each of these keys and delete them
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer and =
delete the value
Shellstate

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Cabi=
netState and delete the value
Settings

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stre=
ams
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stre=
amsMRU (may not exist)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \Bags
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\Bags
[the above one is what reset deletes, 90% of the time it is sufficient =
but 10% of the time the BagMRU needs to be deleted too. If you know what =
cross linked files are the same thing is happening here - the BagMRU =
point to the wrong Bag or serveral BagMRU point to the same bag]

Then in Task Manager, File - Run type explorer. (Start menu and Desktop =
come back).

You then need to reconfigure explorer and the desktop.

Something makes me feel you are dealing with something other than the QL
toolbar, but....

I have the QL toolbar visible and routinely reposition the icons. I
just left-click them and drag them to the desired position. I have
about 20-25 shortcut icons on my bar.
