C# Getting the Windows Quick Launch Items (Windows XP)

Question

i'm on Windows XP and want to read with C# all the Quicklaunch Items (in the taskbar next to the window button).

I found the "solution" to read all files from "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

But i want the same order as in the quicklaunch bar.

Anyone can help me?

cheers

Answer 1

The quick launch sort order is stored as a binary value TaskbarWinXP here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

You would need to reverse engineer the binary to get the sort order.
