Taskbar button groups lonely, buttons appear anti-social

Taskbar button groups lonely, buttons appear anti-social

Windows Vista19
Ok, so I know how to select the option for button grouping on the taskbar,

but when I check it, nothing happens. Well, I take that back, a check mark

appears in the little box, but nothing actually productive happens. What am

I doing wrong? I'm using Vista 32-bit.

Hi Shawmino,

This is for multiple open files for the same program to organize them

into one taskbar button.

See:

'Windows Vista Help: Group similar buttons on the taskbar'

(windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/5c6a7043-5fc5-42da-ad8d-af6e6f0657711033.mspx)" >windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/5c6a7043-5fc5-42da-ad8d-af6e6f0657711033.mspx)

Hope this helps,

Shawn

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, except perhaps not opening

enough Windows to warrant grouping.

To check if grouping is on, press <WINKEY>+<E>a couple of times to

open Windows Explorer. If grouping is on, when you have done this a

couple of time, the buttons should consolidate into a group until you

close enough of them to warrant individual buttons again.

That does help. I guess I just figured that 2 buttons was enough to be

grouped, but I realize I was horribly mistaken. Thanks for the tip!
