Before
With the default Windows 7 settings, your windows from the same app will be stacked onto a single icon.
After
Windows will no longer combine unless the Taskbar becomes full.
Step 1
Right-click any empty space on the Taskbar and Select Properties.
Step 2
The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties menu should appear. On the Taskbar tab Click the drop-down list labeled Taskbar buttons. There are 3 settings here to choose from: Since we want to optimize our taskbar space, Select Combine when taskbar is full.
Done!
Now your Windows 7 taskbar will not combine items unless it runs out of room. With this setting you really get the best of both worlds; your entire taskbar space becomes useful, and you don’t have to worry about losing track of your windows if you open too many. It doesn’t work on my PC. Firefox still wants to open in the middle of my quick launch menu. Very annoying. Comment Name * Email *
