My OCD dreams have come true
Lots of things to blog today, but I shall do them as separate posts. I like to keep things tidy, as you shall see.
Which leads me on (almost as if I had planned this post) to say I'm terribly excited! In a rather geeky and pointless way, but excited nonetheless.
Basically, when I'm at work, I have a particular order that I open my applications in and they MUST stay in that order otherwise I get annoyed. It goes:
But now I no longer need to because I've found a cute little programme called Taskbar Shuffle! It runs in the background and means I can drag my windows around on the taskbar and put them wherever I want. I can't believe I haven't found it before!
So you see, very geeky, very pointless, and yet I'm rather more pleased than I should be because suddenly something in life got easier.
I'm a man of simple pleasures. And compulsive neatness.

- Outlook
- Internet Explorer
- Flock
- Dreamweaver
- Windows Explorer
- TweetDeck (which runs in the background anyway)

Wow - I'm tidy but.....wow! I'm not fussed about the order in which the panes are opened but I don't like too many open at once cos it's messy.
I sadly get quite excited about storage & buying stationary. I'm definitely not on a par with you - hats off to you my good man. x
Ah - you have made my OCD dreams come true too! I must have Outlook first, then the H drive folder. After that I can open and close things as I go but Outlook must be first! I too have been closing everything and re-opening it to maintain the order.
My craptastic day has been slightly improved by this post. I thank you.

Yay, freaks unite!
I love that I'm not the only one that does this! hehe I have to have certain programs in a certain order too! My Outlook, especially, if it's not first it always throws me off and I end up closing and reopning windows to arrange them. I'll have to look into that program. :)
I used to panic if the first 4 task bar apps weren't outlook, IE, windows explorer, and Excel. Mastering alt-tab did help.
