    Sorry bout that. I don't know if that is possible in win7. maybe someone else will see this and know of a workaround.

    I think only option is to combine/hide or uncombine/unhide.

Sorry if this is already been posted, I did a search and couldn't find it. A lot of of people seem to be wanting to have the labels on the taskbar buttons hidden but without combining. This option is not availble in the settings. Here is all you have to do: Run Registry Editor (RegEdit)....
In the taskbar control panel, is there any way to add the option to hide the labels (ie, in this case "Windows 7 Forums -..." but NOT to group 'similar' items, so each firefox window has it's own, non-overlapping button? Thanks as always! Russell
