Tiny feature request - Group similar taskbar buttons
« on: April 26, 2007, 12:16:20 pm »

It would be nice if MC and the detached Display View would show up grouped in the taskbar (when "Group similar taskbar buttons" is checked in Vista/XP taskbar properties), instead of having both of them on the taskbar - which seems a little wasteful to me.

Google "Taskbar shuffle". Enables drag and drop reordering of the windows task bar.

Do you have experience of using this in Vista? None the lit states it will work... I don't like to install anything that doesn't state explicitly that it works on a Vista installation - my Vista machine tends to be kinda sensitive. :)

No, sorry. I can try it on Monday at work on one of my test boxes, if you can wait that long ;)

Just tried it on a vanilla Vista Ultimate, and it seems to work fine, albeit with a difficult to see "indicator" icon.

Reading the Taskbar Shuffle forums, it seems that it should work smoothly on 32bit versions, but probably not on 64bit (although I would have thought the 32bit layer in Vista would make it work fine, but I cannot test it).

Try it and see, I foresee no problems in doing so.
