OK this should be a nice easy one for all you PC buffs :D

I often work with around 6 Word docs open, plus IE and Outlook. I pull the taskbar up so that all the windows show as separate (eg 4 across x 2 deep)and don't group themselves together. Then, for example, I open another browser window or something, and all the flippin' Word docs go into a group. Even when I pull the taskbar higher so there is loads of room for them, they stay stuck in a group. Is there a simple trick to 'ungroup' grouped windows?

BTW I know I can toggle between them using alt + tab, but that is a fag, I like to see them all there ... :rolleyes:

Right click on the toolbar, then select properties. On the taskbar tab, uncheck the 'Group similar taskbar buttons' check box.

That should be it!
