    Windows Explorer won't combine in Taskbar


    Hello, I'm wondering how I would be able to make my Windows Explorer and Libraries, Documents under Taskbar combine.
    It's like the pinned Windows Explorer only opens new instances on the taskbar, crowding it, instead of combining in it.

    Is there any way I could make them combine? Like into one single icon under the taskbar like Music,Local Disk and Documents does?

    Not sure about that, but why not just pin explorer to the start menu and take the libraries icon off the taskbar all together. No real reason to have it there

    If you click on the explorer link, bam there`s your libraries.

    Or just fiddle with the start menu properties.

For some reasons, I feel it's much easier to see the names of the windows that are open on the taskbar rather than small icons that are tabbed. I think it's much faster and convenient. So why do most people always combine taskbar on Windows 7?

Is there away to keep the labels when you combine the taskbar buttons? :D
Hey guys, Loving windows 7 so far. The only gripe I have is I'd like to find a way to use buttons and not labels on the taskbar without combining - for example, if I'm using multiple firefox browsers, it collapses into the same icon. I'd prefer to have different icons for each different browser...
