Yup, around this time.

As I noted previously, different configurations seem to behave differently.
However, I believe you may have dragged it on the space surrounding that
arrow rather than on space to the right of the quick launch icons which
doesn't work on every machine I've tried.

I haven't had any problems moving it on any machine, I'm not saying it won't happen
on some, ones I've tried it on have no problem with it.
I've added another one that doesn't have the chevron (double arrow) where it can be
moved from between the QL icons and the divider bar. Unfortunately it doubled in
size to the last, 6.9 MB.

If you've noticed, the vids were captured on machines using Classic View. Does it
not work in CV and/or the default XP eye candy view? AFAIK that's the only
configurations I'm aware of unless you mean the placement of QL on the Taskbar with
or without other toolbars added. I'm curious about it and need to check other
machines w/hopes of finding one that fails to work.

The new file is down to 3.7 MB from the 6.9 MB.
