Group similar taskbar buttons...

Hello all,

My option for "Group similar taskbar buttons" doesn't work. If I open many
windows of the same window they should group when that option is selected
but they do not. Anyone seen this problem before?


Thanks,

Steve

In RegEdit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarGroupSize
[REG_DWORD] 2 will enable GroupSize automatically if you have two or more
similar window, 3 will enable when you have 3,etc.
