7 Taskbar Tweaker
This programs enables you to tweak your Windows 7 taskbar. The tweaks are divided into three sections:
Taskbar items: control taskbar items related stuff, like middle/right clicking, hovering, dropping, etc.
Grouping and combining: disable grouping, allow to drag windows between groups, force/disable combining, etc.
Other taskbar options: mouse wheel options, double/middle clicking on the empty space of the taskbar, and misc.
Taskbar Inspector

A tool that allows you to:
- Configure labeling/grouping/combining per Application ID.
- Reorder items within a tab group (drag’n'drop).
- Close/minimize/etc. multiple windows at once.
- Change Application ID of windows (that is, grouping whatever windows you want).
You can open it from the tweaker main window, from it’s tray menu, or optionally by double/middle clicking the empty space of the taskbar.

FAQ
Q: Which registry keys does 7 Taskbar Tweaker modify? I don’t need extra processes in my system.
A: The only registry keys the tweaker modifies are it’s own settings. There are no registry keys for the options it provides. The tweaker does that by injecting a DLL to explorer, hooking/subclassing/some other methods of the dark side.
As for extra processes, the tweaker is a native program, and is very lightweight. It shouldn’t slow down your system, and uses an extremely small amount of memory. Also, you can hide the tray icon if you want.
In case you want to remove the tweaker’s settings from the registry, look for them here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar Tweaker
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (“7 Taskbar Tweaker” value)
Q: My antivirus complains about 7 Taskbar Tweaker.
A: It’s a false positive. I guarantee that the tweaker binaries (and any other files on this site, unless specifically noted) are 100% clean. I reported it to AntiVir and they removed the detection: before, after. I don’t have time to mail to all kinds of antivirus companies and ask them to whitelist my programs. Feel free to do it yourself if you wish.
Also remember that the tweaker injects into explorer and modifies it’s memory, which is indeed suspicious.
Q: I want to suggest a feature! What is the best way to do it?
A: I’ve opened a uservoice page where you can suggest and vote for features, or report bugs.
BTW: Please don’t bump ideas. I know it’s possible to vote again by removing your cookies. I also know that the first four ideas are bumped up. All it does is ruining the whole picture of what most people really want to see implemented.
Q: I want to translate 7 Taskbar Tweaker to my language.
A: The archive below contains the files needed to be translated.

Thank you very much for your wonderful app.
It gave me the ability to shuffle and reorganize my taskbar, which I can’t thank you enough for. I’d pay for this app if you charged $$.
Second problem was only partially solved. I have two monitors. I managed to get rid of preview window by clicking “nothing” under Hovering, and it works for one monitor but not the other. Any idea on how I can get this functionality to work for both monitors?
Thx,
JT
AFAIK, Windows 7 doesn’t extend the taskbar to multiple monitors. Do you use a program for that?
Yes, it’s called Actual Multiple Monitors, so I am unable to get your app to work on the second monitor. Please help
.
Request: Can you another option to the “Combining” section of 7 Taskbar Taskbar. Combine after x windows. For example, after 5 or 10 windows of the same App/AppID are started, then only combine them.
