Many browser windows on the task bar in XP - GoFuckYourself.com

I bought an Windows XP recently.
But it lets me open only 7 browser windows and show them on the task bar.
If I open another one, only 2 are showing on the task bar.
How can I change it... ?

I hope you understand what I mean...

PS - don't ask me why I need 8+ browser windows opened at the same time

XP assumes that you want similar tasks "grouped" together.

Click on the taskbar... click on properties...
and then un-check "group similar taskbar buttons"

Thanks a lot !
Now it's much better - I can open about 16 windows ( still in Windows 98 on the old PC I was able to open 25-30 I think ).

I always hated that function

why the fuck should I want all that shit grouped? it's my business, not theirs

if I want 20 icq windows on my task bar, it's my problem

they should just fuck off and die
