Hello...I have done internet searches and forum searches but none have an answer for my problem...
Over the years of using WinXp I have used an Autohide left sid full width taskbar and if the space I allotted to display active program buttons became full with, say 6-8 buttons...then the active program buttons became shorter and just fitted...very convenient... In windows 7 the the buttons remain the full width of the autohide taskbar and very quickly fill the space I have allotted... so instead of one program bar space (Windows 7 size) WinXP could fit 4 easily... no "fix" I have seen changes that...If this forum has a fix for it please advise and sorry I missed it...
Please advise,
Thanks

I know what you mean about the grouping. I don't like it myself. Same goes for pinning. But I am able to disable it. So far (I tested today) I had 50 windows open and they each had a tab on the taskbar. But my task bar is on the bottom, not on the side. I tried it on the side and it doesn't shrink the tabs, just creates a 2nd page.
I've got my taskbar extened to twice the normal size (instead of 1 row, I have 2). On the side, I was able to get 26 tabs on one screen, but then I'm running a 24" monitor at 1920x1200.
Right click on the taskbar and choose properties. Change taskbar buttons to never combine and put a checkmark in for Use Small Icons. This is what I've done.
