Taskbar Button Grouping Is No Good
Thursday June 5, 2008
Have you ever had so many windows open (we all do it sometimes) that Microsoft Windows "groups" similar windows together for your convenience?
It's called Taskbar Button Grouping and you'll see a situation similar to the one pictured below when it's active. In this case, eight Internet Explorer windows were automatically grouped together on the taskbar. Some people prefer this but it's usually a bother for the average user.
To me, it's one of the most annoying features in Windows. Disabling the grouping feature is really easy and may help keep your sanity while looking for that window you swear you just had open.
