I am using Windows XP before and I can easily set the options on my taskbar menu when I don’t want to group similar programs. But when I upgraded to Windows 7, I could not find the option for this. How can I turn it off? Please guide me.
Turn off taskbar settings in grouping similar programs
Hi,
Â
You can set Windows 7 to not group windows of the same program by going to your taskbar and doing a right click. Then choose Properties. It will open the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. Check under the Taskbar tab, there will be a dropdown menu for Taskbar buttons. You will have three options: "Always combine, hide labels", "Combine when taskbar is full" and "Never combine". Just select Never combine then click Apply then Click Ok right after. Just get back to the same process if you wish to undo the changes.

Thank you. Hope it helps.
