Need some help with Modifying Win 7's UI

Hi, my father-in-law just upgraded to win 7. And one of the things he does not like is how the task bar deals with application windows.

Specifically. He wants me to make it so that if he has more than three application windows open they will not all be in the same icon in the taskbar. But wants it that when say IE reaches three or more open windows a new icon will open up in the taskbar with the fourth window.

Is it possible?

Does anyone understand what I mean exactly?

I think I know what you mean.. if you right click the taskbar and go into properties and change the taskbar buttons to never combine, they will all be side by side..

No, it can't be done. No reason to give examples. They are either all grouped or not grouped. Period.

He spelled it out VERY clearly. He wants 3 grouped, and the 4th to start a new group. I'm not sure what you're looking for from him.

Yes, Exactly what MacGyvr said!

Is it possible to limit 3 windows per icon in windows 7? Is it possible to set the fourth, fifth, sixth in another icon, and so forth in other icons? My Father-In-law loves win7 but he hates that one little detail. I tried contacting MS but noone spoke fluent english to understand me. No offense.
