How can I drag the tabs on Windows XP?

Question

How can I rearrange the tabs on Windows XP without closing the windows that I've opened?

Here's an example, I opened Internet Explorer, Outlook and Word and I want to have Outlook on the left side, Internet Explorer in the center and Word on the right. Is there a key I can press to move the tabs around?

I've changed the order of the tabs before but I have no idea how I did it, you can't just click and drag...

Answer 1

Yes, would be a handy feature if it existed.

This feature is built-in with Vista, XP it is not, you'll have to use a third-party application.

Try looking at this one:
