Message: <blockquote data-quote="nlasasatha" data-source="post: 7339780" data-attributes="member: 236390">Windows XP will group multiple open windows (IE windows for example) into one group on the task bar to keep the taskbar clear. This can be annoying at times - especially when comparing different web pages because you have to go back to the task bar, click on the group and then click on the page you want and then you only get one page because you have to click on each one separately. I think the default for this is 8 windows - any combination of apps or utilities open. You can modify this behavior by adding this registry key at: HKEY_CURRRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ add a Dword value of type REG_DWORD named [TaskbarGroupSize]modify "TaskbarGroupSize" entry to be the number of windows you want open before XP starts to group them on the task bar. A value of 2 will cause the Taskbar buttons to always group Another tweak is to disable or enable recent documents history. This can be done at: HKEY_CURRRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ this key should already be present - if it isn't you'll need to add it: Add a Binary value of type REG_BINARY named [NoRecentDocsHistory]modify it so that value reads 01 00 00 00</blockquote>
