    Taskbar icon grouping exceptions


    Hi, apologise if this has been asked again, I just cant seem to find it.

    Anywho as the thread title says is it possible to add/have exceptions to the grouping of tasks? For e.g. say I wanted everything grouped (2x firefox, 2x notepad, etc) but I didnt want my word documents to be grouped, is that possible? both "options" at the same time?

    Hi there, thanks for the reply. Had a look at the links you gave and came across something about Application ID in the windows 7 taskbar APIs link.

    "Alternatively, if you set the application ID of two individual windows (within the same process) to different values, two taskbar buttons will be created, one for each window."

    Now Im not really a computer person and those lines of code and overall discussion really got me confused. Anyone able to simplify it for me please? or even better a quick guide or somert :)

    Thanks

Is it possible to group icons that are pinned in the taskbar, into groups for quick launch. Example; system tools would be the name and have 4 icons inside that group name, like speed fans SIV64, cpuz and siw. Sort of like you can in windows 8 with the tiles.
