If the pedals bothered me that much, yea, otherwise, I welcome change. =)
edit:
You example seems wonky, you want to not group the windows of a program, but you still want them to function as a group whenever you want it to?
Can't have one without the other.
The problem is that there probably won't be, because of the way Windows 7 has been designed, the new one is supposed to be most effective. They phased out classic start menu but I don't think they'll phase out the right click menu or give the option for it. Really, a hack is needed to fix it. The real question here is how can we make it permanent by force and not moaning about the way it is.
No, you used to be able to select multiple taskbar items, right click them and click 'close group' it could be a number of different programs, I think it was with Shift+Click but now when you shift click it kind of acts like CTRL+N (for example on Firefox it makes a new firefox window, on Windows Explorer it opens a new explorer window, like middle clicking it)
I wasn't expecting so many people to share in my missing of the normal right-click menu.
I poked around the registry but didn't find anything... Someone definitely needs to hack this. Wish I had the time to learn how.
I guess you could make a program which monitors the mouse all the time and if it mouses over your task bar you simulate shift being pressed if the right click button is pressed... as a posed to an actual OS hack. This could even be done in VB...
I am using this little program: 7 Taskbar Tweaker - RaMMicHaeL's home page
Works great. One small problem is that it doesn't like it when the Explorer process crashes and restarts. But Explorer has been pretty stable for me, so can't complain.
