Grouping taskbar buttons

I have the taskbar option set to group taskbar buttons together. If
there are three IE windows open, I see one taskbar button. When I
mouse over it, I see three thumbnail IE windows cascaded. Which means
I can only see the first IE thumbnail. If there a way to use grouping
but have the thumbnails appear side by side either horizontally or
vertically?

Re: Grouping taskbar buttons

Actually, all you have to do is to click the taskbar button. Then you will
see a list of the windows listed by name, and when you mouse over any of the
names, you will see individual preview thumbnails.

Hope this helps.

Re: Grouping taskbar buttons

Yep - that's pretty good. Not to push the envelope but is there a way
to get larger thumbnails on the previews?

Thanks.

Actually, you're in luck. There is a program called Thumbnail Sizer that
does just what you ask you can get it here:
