Window Grouping


Recommended Posts

Windows is able to group windows in the task bar automatically or when there is quite few and it is for the best. However is there a way I can tweak XP so that I can group the windows I would like to group. For example, say I have Firefox, Chrome, IE open for some strange reason it would be great to group them under a taskbar button called browser... Or maybe if you are using GIMP and those hundreds of windows are everywhere in the task bar i could group them as GIMP (I know there is a dewierdifyer, but this would be cool for other applications aswell!)

I'm not sure if Microsoft's virtual desktops powertoy would help.

In Linux, I use the virtual desktops on occasion if I have a large variety of apps open (like you mentioned, GIMP with several images open). I put them on a separate desktop, and the taskbar is cleared up when I am on a different desktop, then the GIMP items are shown, and the others excluded when switching back to the GIMP desktop.

I don't know if the Microsoft solution does this, too, or not. But since you don't have any other replies yet, I thought this would be one thing for you to check out.

Hope it helps.
