Hi,
I am getting this strange problem.
In the task bar properties I have selected "Group Similar takbar Icons".
Now when I open multiple IE windows they grouped with the windows explorer
windows and all are shown in one group. This causes a lot of confusion.

Recently I have installed and uninstalled several programs on my machine. I
suspect that some registry entries might have got corrupted.

Please suggest how I an resolve this.

Thanks
Chandu
 
I think this was an issue fixed by WinXP SP-2 -

Grouped Similar Taskbar Buttons Use Incorrect Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818110/en-us
Open Programs Misplaced on Taskbar and the Taskbar Displays "# Windows
Explorer"

If no joy, a more appropriate group to post this to for a fix would be a
WinXP group:

(assuming you are using WinXP - you didn't mention your OS)
