| | Re: Grouping similar taskbar buttons - help! Remember though, it does not group the Taskbar buttons unless the Taskbar is filled with multiple application windows of many opened applications. What you want it to do is group a single application even when the Taskbar is not filled. The group option in Vista Taskbar properties does not do that. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "John" <noneya@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:615D97C2-DD01-434B-86D9-8B66B293DFD3@xxxxxx Quote: > Yes, I've even rebooted and still no change. > > "Andre Da Costa[ActiveWin]" <andred25@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:%23zUE9mVDIHA.1316@xxxxxx Quote: >> Did you log out and log back in? >> -- >> Andre >> Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com >> My Vista Quickstart Guide: >> http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry >> "John" <noneya@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:A3B4C821-028D-46D3-929C-E71A9386D27C@xxxxxx Quote: >>>I have this selected in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window but >>>it isn't working.

| | Re: Grouping similar taskbar buttons - help! You're right! That is what I want it to do. I just tested it and it took 8 windows before it kicked into "grouping" mode. I wish there was a tweak (like the old days) where you could specify it. Thanks for your help.

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. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User |
