Right click on the taskbar (not the icon) and go to properties.

Right click on the taskbar, then choose "Properties", then in the list for "Taskbar Buttons" select "Never combine".

Zimba about 3 yearsAlthough each window will have it's own icon on taskbar, they will still be grouped together based on app eg. if you open a notepad doc, then open paint doc, then another notepad doc, you will see both notepad icons together in taskbar, even though paint was opened 2nd. So if you're looking to quickly go to the window opened last, taskbar becomes irrelevant; it's just a collection of icons. The
