Taskbar stacking icons

Currently the icons in the taskbar are not stacked until the taskbar is full.
Is there a way to force the stacking of icons no matter how many icons are on
the taskbar?

In the Start Search box, type 'regedit' to run the registry editor.
Navigate to:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Advanced]

create a new REG_DWORD value named 'TaskbarGroupSize'

& set it's value to 2

This will cause 2 or more instances of an application to group on the
taskbar.
