Single Iexplorer icon on taskbar instead of multiple icons, gone.

[stu]

Before XP was re-installed there was a blue "E" icon on the taskbar for
each IE6 opened.

After the install, I was pleasantly surprised to see only a single "E"
no matter how many explorers were open. A number was shown and when I
placed my cursor over the "E" icon a small window opened for me to
select which Explorer to re-open.

Alas, it is now gone and the original display has returned.

Is there a way to restore the single "E"?

Jon,

Many thanks.

Interestingly, my tasskbar icons behaved that way for a few days before
I added the new key (value 2).

I have no idea as to why that happened.

Any ideas?

This is a great mod.
