update

The Netflix Queue Manager has been updated. This version adds:

• Delete capability – no explanation needed
• Hiding the Netflix main form – the regular Netflix queue form is hidden while the manager is open, making the Manager appear more naturally integrated

There is no need to re-install the bookmarklet version. If you do not see the new features when using the Manager you’ll need to clear your cache to pick up the updates.
In Firefox you can do this by selecting Tools->Options->Cache->Clear.
In IE select Tools->Internet Options->General->Delete Files.

If you have not previously installed the Manager, read this article on setup and use.

Greasemonkey

Now that these features have been added it makes more sense to streamline the Greasemonkey version. Now instead of creating a button to invoke the manager it can be started automatically. The update is still done manually. This is for peace of mind, not a technical limitation. A future update will provide the ability to update from the Manager buttons.

Netflix Queue Manager for Greasemonkey (v1.1)

Right-click and select “Install User Script” or click the link to view the file then select “Tools->Install User Script”. It should over-write the previous version, so no need to uninstall.

turnabout

Turnabout is a Greasemonkey-compatible plug-in for Internet Explorer 6. The Manager appears to work fine with Turnabout.

If you don’t like the Manager being always being invoked automatically, such as after an update, you can just use the older version. You’ll still have access to the new features.

Netflix Queue Manager for Greasemonkey (v1.0)

You could also alter the script configuration to exclude certain pages, while keeping the auto-invoke as the default.
For example, after re-ordering the queue the URL will be something like:
http://www.netflix.com/Queue?prioritized=true
And after deleting an item:
http://www.netflix.com/Queue?itemsdeleted=1
