Windows 10: Is there a way to group Taskbar instances as working "folders"

Imagine sitting at a desk working on ten different things. A group of papers here a group of papers there. Except the way windows currently works all the blue papers are here, the yellow are there and the green are over there. I need a couple of each colour paper relevant to the subject grouped for quick reference. I don't want to have to go to the stored location and wait for every document to open. What I need is a button on the taskbar where I can group an document from Adobe, an email, an edge instance, a power point, etc. How can I do this? When a client needs to talk about something imm

How to Change the Group by View of a Folder in Windows 10 tutorial

The delay to reply was unrelated to this topic. I was preparing to add a disc drive. The preferred view is working now, and here is the step by step list of what I did, and it includes an additional step at the end. I also rebooted after each step.

1. Reset all views to default.
2. Rebooted.
3. Changed the "My Pc" view to Details and set the "Group By" to [None]. But left everything else at default.
4. Rebooted.
5. "My Pc" view retained the selected setting, alphabetically ordered "Details" without grouping.
6. Switched to Drive C:\, set it to "Details" and changed the column order to "Name, Size Type and Date". Grouping is available but not applied by the default settings.
7. Rebooted.
8. "My Pc" lost the settings, reverted to "Tile" and "Group by" was active again.
9. Reconfigured to "Details" and set the "Group By" to [None].
10. Rebooted.
11. "My Pc" view retained the selected settings. Alphabetically ordered "Details" without grouping.

Windows 10 Quick Access: Folder & File Grouping (QA grouped by type, folder or file) ceased working

Actually, apologies, I spoke too soon, I rebooted (still had same issue which emerged after a Win10 crash this AM for unknown reason) then executed your suggestion (which to be clear for others was the following steps):

• Opened "File Explorer"
• Went to View
• Selected Options from toolbar
• Selected Change Folder and Search Options - this opened Folder Options box
• Selected View for View tab
• in Folder Views box clicked on Reset Folder

And voila, worked. Earlier try not sure why it did not work but after reboot (and with continued Quick Access issue) this worked.
