    I have a setting of sort that drives me nuts, that i've seen on EVERY XP computer i've ever been on.

    When chatting on MSN IM, etc...if i get to many MSN IM Windows, XP will "group" them together, sliding them all to one lil window.

    It also does this for Internet Explorer, etc.

    Anyone have any idea what i'm talking bout, or how to take this setting off?

    Thanks,
    BFTP

    Its not a firefox or IE thing, It is Windows XP grouping similar apps together to save space on the task bar.
