Taskbar Groups in XP
Since there's no easy way to search for a question involving Windows XP, excuse me if this has been answered.
XP has this nice feature that it groups similar programs on the tasbar. However, I do not want this grouping for certain programs (ie, IE), and the grouping seems arbitrary anyway; XP grouped mIRC and a DCC send, and at some point ungrouped them. Is there any way to manually group programs, or choose which programs you want to be affected by grouping? I suspect this is a typical Microsoft feature: poorly implemented, not becoming useful until 3 OS revisions down the line.
