Fix Reshuffling of Taskbar Buttons Whenever Windows Explorer Crashes (or Is Killed)
Whenever Windows Explorer (not the whole computer machine/system, but just explorer.exe) crashes (or is killed), when Windows Explorer restarts (again, not the whole computer machine/system, but just explorer.exe), the order of taskbar buttons within a group gets shuffled according to which window was last activated instead of retaining the order before the crash.
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Make sure that grouping is ON and combining is OFF (that is, make sure that "Group by Application ID" is on, and that "Don't combine grouped buttons" is on).
(2) Start up 5 instances/windows of the SAME application (it is important that it be the same application, because the shuffling only occurs within multiple buttons of the same group). We'll refer to these 5 instances, in order from left to right, as Window A, Window B, Window C, Window D, and Window E.
(3) Click on those 5 windows, or their taskbar buttons, in some random order. For example, click on the windows in the order B -> E -> A -> D -> C.
(4) Use Windows Task Manager to first kill explorer.exe. As expected since Explorer has been killed, this will cause the taskbar to temporarily disappear.
(5) Use Windows Task Manager to start explorer.exe again. The taskbar returns -- but the problem is that the taskbar buttons are now arranged in order, from left to right, according to the order in which the windows last received focus (so, using the example above, we would get C -> D -> A -> E -> B, the reverse of the order in which we clicked on the windows) instead of the original order (A -> B -> C -> D -> E).
When Windows Explorer starts again after a crash or kill, Taskbar Tweaker should correctly order the taskbar buttons in the same order they were in before the crash (Taskbar Tweaker should do this either automatically or at an explicit command by the user).
Thanks in advance!
