Does file explorer funtion in the same way for you dirk? I usually have multiple instances of file explorer open. It is a pain to open them in the current (7057) setup.

Right click on taskbar and go up to toolbars and see if quicklaunch is listed there. I will bet it's there. That's not default. Someone set it up.

It has always been like this in all of the different builds, what you're describing is the option "never combine" in the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties".
There's three different settings for the "Taskbar buttons":
1. "Always combine, hide labels"
2. "Combine when taskbar is full"
3. "Never combine"
But as I said, nothing's new under the sun... | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 7100 RC 1, Windows Vista 64, Windows XP, MAC OS X 10.5.5 CPU Intel E8400 Motherboard Asus P5Q3 Deluxe P45 Memory 4 GB Corsair DDR3 Graphics Card ATI 4870x2 Sound Card Asus Xonar DX Monitor(s) Displays Dell 2405 24" widescreen Screen Resolution 1920 x 1200 PSU Zalman ZM-850 Case Antec p-180 Hard Drives Western Digital VelociRaptor 300 GB, Samsung Spinpoint F1 1 TB Internet Speed 24 mb/s Other Info Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad T60, T5600, 3 gb RAM, Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 gb HDD, ATI x1400, 15" 1400x1050 FlexView screen.

That's not what is going on here. Unless you have to restart after you change it. I tested all three options. None of them are doing what he is describing. See the screenshots he posted. His is acting like a true quick launch live XP and Vista. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Keeps changing - (Custom) OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU Intel Core i7 860 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P Memory 4GB DDR3 Mushkin 1600Mhz @ 7-8-7-20 Graphics Card MSI GTS250 1GB DDR3 Twin Frozr Sound Card Onboard realtek Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 24" P2450 + Samsung 20" 2033 Screen Resolution 1920 X 1080 and 1600 X 900 (#2 system 1440 X 900) Keyboard Gigabyte USB keyboard Mouse Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 PSU Corsair 750 HX Modular Case Lancool PC-K62 Cooling Cooler Master TX3 CPU cooler and 4-140mm and 1-120mm case Hard Drives Patriot Inferno 120GB SSD + 3 WD Blue 640GB drives Internet Speed 7 Mb down 1.5 up Other Info System #2: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (Freezer 7 Pro cooler) - Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H - WD 500GB Black - 9500GT (1GB) 500W OCZ modular PSU - Antec 200 case.

Thats a bug, the reason you have two Internet Explorer icons is because Explorer uses heuristics and an APPID registry value for mapping applications to their associated taskbar icon... Somehow your IE signature changed or its APPID changed hence the second IE icon.
That exact taskbar application behavior was explained during the PDC last year Windows 7: Integrate with the Windows 7 Desktop | pdc2008 | Channel 9

If it was this then Labels would appear in the taskbar as only option 1 removes them. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built / Acer Aspire 7720G Laptop OS Windows 7 Build 7600 Laptop and desktop.
