There is a tweak.

Go to Start and type: regedit.exe in the search box. In the results,
right click regedit.exe and select the Run As Administrator option.

In the registry editor, navigate to the following Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In the right side pane, right click an empty spot and select New / D-WORD
(32-bit value).
Name the new Value: TaskbarGroupSize (Case sensitive)
Double click this new value.
In the Edit dialog, type a 2 in the Value Data line.
Click OK.
Exit everything and reboot the computer.

This will cause the Taskbar to group the buttons when there are 2 or more
applications opened in the same program.
