I'd be surprised if there is an API for it.

The shell (quite rightly) views the taskbar as "the user's" and
doesn't allow programs to mess with it.

Hi Vilius,

You need to send a TB_MOVEBUTTON message to change order of taskbar buttons.
TB_MOVEBUTTON Documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb787387%28VS.85%29.aspx)

There is a helpful CodeProject article that uses the same method for
arranging taskbar buttons. You can take a look at it:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/taskbarsorter.aspx

You can also add, delete or activate any button on taskbar using
ITaskbarList interface functions:
ITaskbarList::AddTab
ITaskbarList::DeleteTab
ITaskbarList::ActivateTab

You can find the C# signature and sample source code for the ITaskbarList
interface at:
