    Changing taskbar options to see how many windows are open


    Hello,everybody!

    Basically,i can't find where and how to change this.For example,on my windows xp when i opened multiple windows from same type they got squeezed and on taskbar you could see exact number of these windows...But on windows 7 they only get squeezed but without any real visible number,and I would really like to see this number as this is very important for me :))
    Thank you!
