In a recent update Microsoft swapped Notification Center and Clock icon positions so that Notification Center is the last icon in the taskbar. Is it possible to swap them back?

Have you tried dragging it to a new position? – DavidPostill – 2016-08-05T12:48:12.220

Yes but doesn't work. I can drag only regular tray icons. – Poma – 2016-08-05T13:19:31.747

Other than turning the notification center icon off, i'm not sure – mt025 – 2016-08-05T18:32:37.717

This change was such an outrage that I've written a little app to put it back how it was. Executables + source available here.

Simply drop a shortcut to the executable into your startup folder to run it automatically. If you launch the .exe a second time it will quit itself and undo the change it made. No warranties, etc.

Is there any possibility to move it left a little bit more, to the left of the language icon (like it was pre-update)? Or give some tips on what needs to be edited in the code? – Daniel – 2016-10-28T22:49:49.297
