Sorry, I have no answer for you. :(
With my setting at Never Combine, opening IE, then Notepad, then another IE, I do show another icon not combined.

Color me confused, based on the Start Menu button in the image you posted, simonsez9, it appears to be Windows XP and an old version of Firefox that you are working with. Thus, there will be no option http://www.sevenforums.com/member.php?u=77478as suggested by Ztrucker on that machine. As I recall, there was an extension I used on older versions of Firefox that prevented the grouping you're referring to but I am not recalling what it is at the moment.

Good thought Rich but I think OP wants each instance of IE and other programs to have its own icon. Your method disables the thumb preview of tabs from a songle IE session. :)
