    Lightbulb I have never noticed this in XP!



    I've never seen or noticed the two up and down arrows next to the system tray before. Turns out when too many windows or programs are open at once, and they can't all be displayed in the Taskbar, that XP will just stack them. The arrows are used to scroll up or down the stack of open windows in the Taskbar. Pretty I thought!

    Pretty cool! I guess it gets to that point when the taskbar can only display one letter per application!
    My equipment:

    Acer Aspire AX3300-U1322 Desktop (sorry didn't build this time!), 4Gb RAM, AMD Athlon II quad core CPU

    Open IE and about the 5th window you open it stacks things for you. Just one example.

    If you don't want "stacked windows" and prefer each item to have its own separate button: Right click in an empty spot on the taskbar, select properties, and uncheck "group similar taskbar buttons."

    DuaneB, I know and it already is, I'm talking about something totally different here. These arrows will scroll the taskbar to the next level down.

    Yes, "group similar taskbar buttons" will stack them also, but this ain't that.
