Change the order of taskbar items...

Hi,

Change the order? No, but you can go to the taskbar properties and tell it
to 'group similar taskbar buttons'. Just right click the taskbar, choose
properties and the option is on the first tab. They won't be sequential
(side by side), they will stack.

Hi. I have eleven open items showing on my taskbar (browser windows, files,
etc.). Is there a way to change the order that they appear on the taskbar so
that all similar items are together- all Word docs, all Excel files and so
on- without closing and reopening them in order?

Thanks.
