Just tried this because I was annoyed with Windows not allowing me to drag and order my taskbar thumbnails.

Works well. Uses about 1.8MB of RAM and is the same for uncompressed filesize.

If anyone knows of a similar app, let me know!
is it stealth? ;)

Absolutely hate this software, because once you use it you'll never want to go back the old standard Windows way again and this will become a requirement on every computer. Joking aside though this is a great app, and I never new it was portable, I always thought it required settings to be stored in the registry.

I would argue that injecting a Dll into explorer.exe isn't Portable, regardless of whether or not settings are stored in the Registry.

Topic update: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.9 released (changelog at rammichael.com/downloads/7tt_setup.exe?changelog).

FYI, user olliebean warns there's no direct auto-upgrade path for the portable version (while providing a workaround) at https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2577#comment31133.

Topic update: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.15 released 2023-11-09 (changelog at https://rammichael.com/downloads/7tt_setup.exe?changelog).

An interesting tidbit from the latest changelog:
A notice regarding Windows 11: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker doesn't support the Windows 11 taskbar, but some of the tweaks are available in Windows 11 as Windhawk mods. Check out the list of mods, and vote for missing mods that you'd like to see implemented:
