How to Group Folders Together in Vista's Taskbar

If you keep several programs and folders open while using your Windows Vista-based computer, you may find that the task bar quickly becomes cluttered with buttons. If the task bar has many buttons, you may even find that they are so densely packed that you have difficulty reading them. For this reason, Windows Vista has the ability to combine similar task bar items in groups. If you have several folders open, for example, Windows Vista displays a single folder when this feature is enabled. To switch between folders, simply click the single folder button and select the folder that you want to view.
