pinned files stuck win 8.1
I've always found it tricky to rearrange files pinned to Windows Explorer - sometimes they drop one line above or below where you expect.
However, in the past two weeks they've simply refused to move up or down at all. Most of the time if I drag and drop a file, the pinned list just disappears until I re-click in the taskbar. But sometimes there is a very long pause -- where the system hangs for something like a minute -- and then it appears that Explorer is restarting.

Go and see if that happens with other users, too.
just for exactness you are referring to moving pinned items on the taskbar.

Yes - right-click on icon to see pinned files. Click a file and drag up or down.
