Windows XP Taskbar

[Hav0k99]

Ok in Windows 2000, when I open multiple aplications it keeps everything on one bar and the more I open it keeps it on one just makes the icon smaller and smaller. How do I do this on XP? I do not want to group tasks or have it create a 2nd bar that I need to click on an arrow to go between the 2.

I know some guru here knows how to 🙂

Click here to see what I am talking about

I am using Windows XP Professional

Here is the pic again with an arrow pointing at what I am talking about

And another pic

right click the task bar > properties > taskbar tab

uncheck " Group similar taskbar button"

click ok

nevermind, i just saw your picture now, you're asking about something which my XP never does it.
Mine is XP professional, not sure if thats the difference or i actually turned off that feature somewhere

yeah you see how it adds arrows at the end of the task bar to move between 2 task bars. I want it all to stay on one just keep making the task icons smaller and smaller the more you add. Windows 2000 does this.

What happens if you use Classic Start Menu ? ?
