    Windows Taskbar: Show icons per open file instead of all files per program on one icon


    Dear community,


    I saw a person which had one icon per open instance/file on his Windows 10 computer. I only have one icon per program. How can I change this?


    Thank you for your help!

    :)

    Appended icon in some files in Win7

    Looks like this whole icon thing was some kind of explorer.exe bug ,the icon changed to a Diablo 3 icon , after another reboot, it changed back to the windows media "play" icon.

    Nevermind ... I remember this bug elsewhere in another situation, happens sometimes when a lot of icons get randomly choosen instead of the correct one.

    FIX: because of the permissions inherition when I had the files on my desktop this icon bug happen, when i moved them to the public D: drive, the permissions changed and the problem was fixed.

    Win7 always has something to confuse the heck out of you.

    Excel Icon on taskbar does not open file, only program


    Pin the program to your taskbar and drag the file to the icon on the taskbar (I haven't tried this with a OneDrive stored file though). Another way is to open the file, close it, then right click the icon on the taskbar. It'll list recent files which can be pinned (both local and online files work). Unfortunately, locally stored files do not open as I mentioned. OneDrive stored files do though. Hope that helps.

    Windows Taskbar: Show icons per open file instead of all files per program on one icon

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.
