“Group similar taskbar buttons”
Does anyone know, is it possible on Windows XP to have your open windows grouped together (much like the option “Group similar taskbar buttons” does), but specifically tell it not to stack the buttons if space becomes an issue?
I like having all my browsers together (if I’m using IE for compatability testing, otherwise I only have Firefox open once with tabs), my shells together and other similar windows all bunched together, but being a (busy) nerd, I never have just one or two windows open, but rather normally 9 or 10.
Errr.. you could just make your taskbar double height (mine is). Not sure if thats what you meant.
That doesn’t work. Once you get to a heap of windows (I don’t know the threshold), it collapses them all into a single icon - the only way you can expand them again is to close them all. I’d be interested in the answer to this too.

Dont you just turn the option “Group Similar taskbar buttons” OFF under taskbar properties? it should just clutter the Taskbar with all the open programs then without grouping them into one group of 9 or so IE browsers.
Yeah, but if you have three shells and two IE windows open, then it won’t bunch the shells together, and the IE windows together, which is what I want.
