Windows XP Taskbar Question...

[Bobby Coke]

I do not have an xp computer handy but know i have done this before on an xp...on my windows 7 there is a 'always group' box to check. right click the taskbar and click properties and see what you can find? i'm positive theres a way...

The always group function only kicks in when the taskbar is full, there's no way to just select certain tabs and group them together. Thanks for the help though.

Sorry, nothing built into XP to do that. At least not that I know of... I did find a reg key hack that could work for you. I haven't tried it so use at your own risk... Hope it helps!

Many thanks for the link AX.

I'm a bit scared to touch the registry as I don't really know what I'm doing, but from the link you sent me I found in the comments section that the 'TweakUI PowerToy' from Microsoft gives you lots of options to customise how Windows performs, including the option to group any application tabs with at least 'x' amount of windows open (shown in the picture below)

Using it that way, you can turn that feature on and off when it suits.

Again, thanks for the help. Members here never disappoint.
