When you have lots of one type of window open, they merge into one drop-down
style menu. How do you make this the default style for all multiple windows?

 When you have lots of one type of window open, they merge into one drop-down style menu. How do you make this the default style for all multiple windows? If it's doing it for any, then that option is active and doing it for all; it's not selectively configurable. There are various factors that decide whether a window belongs to a group or not, primarily based on the process. If a program creates a bunch of windows of the same type, they will be grouped. Are there specific windows that you were expecting to be grouped but aren't? -- Alec S. news/alec-synetech/cjb/net

There's this KB article which explains registry settings which can modify the grouping behavior:
How to Change the Behavior of Taskbar Grouping http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/q281628 If you don't want to edit the registry directly, you can download 'TweakUI', which allows you to manipulate various settings not available thru the UI. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] "Sea.finn" wrote in message news When you have lots of one type of window open, they merge into one drop-down style menu.

It could be, they indicated that they think it is enabled for some windows and want to enable it for all programs. That's why I said that if it's enabled for one, it's enabled for everything and asked for more details. They're probably just not getting triggered for some of the reasons indicated in the page you specified. -- Alec S. news/alec-synetech/cjb/net
