How do I separate tabs in the Taskbar

Question

I want to separately move the tabs (of the same application) in the taskbar.

I have 2 Chrome Windows open. If I want to move either of them to another position inside the taskbar, both are moved, as if they are glued together.

How do I move them separately?

Solution

you can use an app to achieve it. You can find 7+ Taskbar Tweaker at the below link http://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker

by utilising its "Taskbar Inspector" feature

1. install 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (portable installation is also possible)
2. move the tabs to a separate window
3. open taskbar inspector
4. select the window with your preferred tabs, right click & "Change Application ID" to "random group"

that's it you can now move the 2 chrome/firefox windows seperately on the taskbar

unfortunately it does not work. i cannot move them independently. i also noticed, that i cant move the folder-tabs of windows independently, too

thanks, but i was talking about the windows-taskbar, not the browser-taskbar

@InsOp: oh, so you're dragging the items on the taskbar itself? I don't think that's possible, even not with 3rd party taskbar extensions like UltraMon, which I use.

@InsOp: I have attached a screenshot of the situation you probably have.

Yeah I thought of something like that. Not aware actually if this is doable at all.
