    My problem is that when I open up too many Internet Explorer windows, XP bunches them up and says for example "6 Internet Explorer" windows open.

    Is there any way, all these windows can stay open seperately along the toolbar. I tried expanding the toolbar, but then it makes my screen size smaller.

    This never was a problem in Win 2K or Win 98. I could open up infinite number of windows and they would just keep lining up on the toolbar. They would just get smaller and smaller.

    But on XP every time they bunch up and say "6 Internet Explorer" I have to manually click the menu, and find which link I am looking for.

    This is one of the main reasons I dont like XP. .:mad:


    Any help is appreciated

    Yeah, I hate a lot of the stuff they did with look and functionality of XP. I was just so used to how it was before, that I always ungroup similar taskbar buttons and switch the start menu and folders back to classic view.

    heh...me too.

    thats the first thing I do after a install....I go thru and set everything back to classic...turn off all them stupid menu effects(got better things for my processor to be doing).

    I dont mind the better stability that XP appears to have...but I dont need or want them stupid eye candy effects that MS seems to think we all want.

    I wish they would put more effort into a stable and secure system and quit worrying about eye candy..
