'Group similar taskbar buttons' feature in winXP

[bras0782]

I think this is a handy feature, but I wouls like to tweak the settigns a little. At the moment when I have 10 or more icons in the taskbar it groups similar ones together. Is there a way to change this setting to allow upto 20 icons before grouping? I only want it to group when the taskbar gets really crowded. I use a fairly high resolution so can handle many icons.

Thanks

i'm not at home right now, so i can't check for sure...but if anything can do it, it would indeed be tweakUI. if you're not familiar with it, you can get it right from microsoft. it's one of their "power toys" for windows.

hope that works for ya

Thanks for the response. TweakXP (the XP verson of TweakUI) does allow a few changes to the taskbar grouping settings, but they are not exactly what I require. It lets you modify the number of icons per program before it groups (which is very similar to what I want, but not quite), and it let's you choose whether to group the program with the most icons first, or the one used teh least.

I fear that if TweakXP doesn't have the setting then there may not be a simple registry hack that allows it. However, I think there really would be one. I just want to set the numbers of total icons on the taskbar (irrespective of how many different programs) before it starts grouping
