XP- Grouping Tasks

[ayenem]

Im sure 99% of us are aware of the feature in XP to group the open tasks into one button in our task bar.

My question is:
Can I control when to group the tasks? i.e.- I currently have open four browser windows, two xls, and three notepad. None are grouping and I do have the feature turned on. Does XP wait until I have a certain amount open before grouping? I think I remember it grouping when having four of something open in the past. It seems to have a mind of its own it just groups when it feels like it.

Thanks for you help.

This tells you how to configure it.

^Perfect! I think this is going to work. Logging off\on now to test.

note: This article also explained why it seemed to vary when XP would group the tasks. It only did it when the task buttons got to small, i.e.- if i have like 10 open windows it would probably group them every time.

I'm a reg junkie. Have a batch file that gives me a list of things I want to change when I logon to my work machine. It's nice to be an admin...
