Up and down arrows on Taskbar for open programs?
Hello,
For some reason, I no longer get the up and down arrows on my taskbar when I open many programs and documents. I have to lift up the taskbar to see all of the open items. I'd like to get those back - thanks! |

Up and down arrows on Taskbar for open programs?
Thanks - actually what I want is the up and down arrows on the far right
near the clock - when you open lots of documents and apps. Not grouping but when their are multiple lines to the taskbar. "Wesley Vogel" wrote in message ...

Up and down arrows on Taskbar for open programs?
I'm familiar with what grouping does. I don't want to turn grouping on. I
want to make it so that the up and down arrows come back when I have many items open. Right now the only way to see all the items is to lift up the taskbar. "Wesley Vogel" wrote in message ...
