Tip Difficulty Level: Novice
By default taskbar grouping will happen
when you have three or more of the same program windows open. We have found
the registry key to change the settings so that, if you prefer, Windows XP
will wait till you open even more of the same program windows before they
start to group. Here is an overview of Taskbar Grouping first:
Overview
The taskbar can become crowded with buttons when you are
working with multiple programs at the same time. For this reason,
Windows provides a feature to help you manage a large number
of open documents and program items.The taskbar
button grouping feature works in two ways. First, taskbar buttons for
documents opened by the same program are always displayed in the same area
of the taskbar so you can find your documents easily.
Second, if you have many documents open in the same
program,
Windows combines all the documents into one taskbar button
that is labeled with the name of the program. A triangle on the right side
of the button indicates that many documents are open in this program. The
single button provides access to all the open documents.To access one of the open documents, click the triangle on the
taskbar button, and then click a document name in the list. To act on all
the open documents at the same time, use the right-click menu. For example,
right-clicking the triangle gives you a menu that lets you close all the
open documents.
How This Tip Works
Click here to download theregistry key to enable user defined
grouping. It's currently setat 3, if you
want to change this number open the .reg file in notepad andedit the line:
Change this to whatever number you wish explorer to
group at.i.e. change it to dword:00000008
if you wanted explorer to group on
8, or
dword:00000005 if you want explorer to
group on 5. Save the file afterediting to the number and then click on the
file you have edited. It will ask you if you wantto enter this entry into the registry, click yes.
You will then be notified if the key has been added to your registry
correctly.
