This works well for removing and organizing. But somehow my spotlight icon got removed from the menu bar and I desperately need it back, how do I do that?

Try this: Type out your login item list in TextEdit so you
don’t forget what’s there. Identify the names of the ones in your
menu bar (above) and write a note next to your TextEdit list so
there’s no confusion. Remove those items by hitting the minus
button below the list of login items. Using your list, dd them
again in the order you would want them to show up. The ones you add
back will show up closer to the right of the menu bar. Log out Log
back in You should be set. Troubleshoot where necessary, you have
all the tools now.

Doesn’t work. I can only move the menu bar icons that came with the Mac, not 3rd party apps…

This doesn’t work for icons that are grey’d out. I have uninstalled a printer program and it didn’t take the icon with it. I tried to reinstall it so to try uninstalling it again, but it just made another one appear! What is another way to get rid of the icons in the menu bar that are grey’d out?

yay! This was the first thing I actually was able to do right after reading the article! Ha ha.
The extra one’s weren’t bothering me yet, but they would have eventually.
