Things you can do with Windows 7 Part 2

By default, Windows 7 groups same programs in the Taskbar under one icon. Sometimes, this is handy if you have a small monitor. BUt if you switch between windows often, this may not be a feature you want active. You can turn it off by right-clicking on the Taskbar, clicking on Properties, and then changing the drop down menu next to Taskbar Buttons from "Combine when Taskbar is Full" to "Never Combine." Then each window will have it's own button.
