yeah dude, can't open the same program twice in new taskbar. How many times you ever need open two explorer windows. F'n Clown shoes at microsoft. will give go later.
Ehh? I can open any program supporting multiple instances from Win7 taskbar. What are you talking about? Right-Click is your friend... (Psst it's right above the "Pin/Unpin" option)
you can open multiple instances of programs easily with the new taskbar just click your mouse wheel down. It opens a new instance.
shift + click opens new instance ctrl + click changes focus between instances but i haven't found a way to start as admin cmd-prompt when it's pinned to taskbar from quick-launch you can --edit-- shift + right click good old menu
It's probably more accurately the middle mouse button if you have it. Don't know though. I don't have a scroll wheel on my trackball, nor a mouse with a middle button..
I dont really get installing a new OS and then making it act like the older ones... But OK different people, different taste... I absolutely do respect that! Must say, at first, I didnt like the new taskbar at all but after having worked with it for a few weeks getting to know it better I find its a great improvement over the "old" way..... Huge THX for the shortcuts mentioned in this thread which I didnt stumble upon till now.
I say if its what everybody knows and has worked for 15 years, why change it. I changed my win 7 to the vista look though there's nothing wrong with 95/98/millennium/2000/xp either-its what everybody knows. The new 7 taskbar is pretty eye candy IMHO and that's about it and to confuse anyone you let use your computer.
