Grouping of Taskbar Buttons Doesnt Work??

One of the new features in XP is the ability to keep similar taskbar buttons grouped together on your taskbar, to prevent it from getting all cluttered just because you have a couple browser windows open or something.

One of the new features in XP is the ability to keep similar taskbar buttons grouped together on your taskbar, to prevent it from getting all cluttered just because you have a couple browser windows open or something. Only problem is, it doesnt seem to work. I checked the start menu properties and the option for grouping is enabled, yet it doesnt do it. I have tried this feature in both builds 2463 and 2465 to no avail. Anyone know why this isnt working properly?? Has M$ not included it yet, is there something else that needs to be done in order for it to work??

It does it when you have more than the same window open.

it was working for me fine in all builds. I think it will start grouping once your taskbar has filled up. Or you can try opening 20 IE windows and seeing if that does it
