Can I programmatically change "Group similar taskbar buttons"?

C

Chad C. Mulligan

Well, none of the other MS newsgroups has posted an answer for me, so
perhaps somehere can answer this for me (Kelly, perhaps?)

Whenever I have too many IE windows open they group together because I
have checked the "Group similar taskbar buttons" checkbox on the
"Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog. The problem is when I close
some of the windows, and get back down to a managable number, they stay
grouped. I'd like to create a batch file or some such that I can create
a shortcut to and then have it perform the equivalent of the following
actions:

* uncheck the checkbox on this dialog
* apply the change to cause the buttons to ungroup
* then recheck the checkbox on this dialog to get things back the way
they were

Does anybody know of a way to do this?

TIA,

-- Chad
