Hello , I observed your quetion and tested with "Lock the taskbar" checked ..
and with Lock the taskbar unchecked . Either way , this did not change the
way I could easily "Drag" the "Quicklaunch taskbar" icons . Try dragging and
watch for the ----> blinking I then drop the icon / program in the desired
location . Drag and Drop .

Is quicklaunch effected by the sorting setting? Try turning off "auto
arrange" in the arrange icons by menu and applying it globaly.

I am the one who wrote this original question. Earlier Today, without
knowingly changing any setting, I was able to drag the icons within the
Quick Launch Taskbar to rearrange their order. So I now have them in the
order that I want.

Strange though, since reading your responses, I checked and my taskbar was
Unlocked. I locked it and tried dragging the icons and found that I could
not drag them. Then I unlocked the taskbar and tried again. None of the
icons will drag with either setting, yet they would drag only a few hours
ago. I can not figure out why I can drag them sometimes and not others. I
have not changed the auto-sort setting. The only activity that I did was to
update my XP with the eight security fixes that Microsoft has on their
download site for me.

Does anyone know what specific setting might be blocking my ability to drag
these icons?

Howdy once again. I made another discovery re this issue.
Just a few minutes ago, I tried to drag the Quick Launch Icons and they
would not move. I confirmed that the Taskbar was Not locked. Then I
rebooted my system and following the reboot, the icons move just fine.

Does that help anyone answer why I can drag the Quick Launch Icons sometimes
and not others?
