How In The World Do You Do This?

Okay, I am officially confused. The computers at work have the same version of XP that I have, and they do this really cool thing with the browser that my computer doesn't do. When they have 3 or more IE windows open and the minimize them, it puts them on one and when the mouse goes over it, you can pick which window you want to open. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get my computer to do that! Can someone tell me?

Go to your Start Menu, Settings, Task Bar and Start Menu. On the Taskbar tab there is a setting for "group similar taskbar buttons". Check that box and click OK.

Note, this could eventually prove to be an irritation if you have a lot of windows open.

OKay, thanks. I did that, but it isn't working. It isn't grouping the taskbars...is there something else I need to set?

Well, the M$ support site states that the grouping doesn't happen until there is no room on the taskbar for more window 'items'. Try a bunch of windows first.

The only time I have seen this happen is when there are multiples of msie windows opens - like when I accidently run across one of those sites that send you in circles with dozens of popups because you are not running a popup stopper.
