  You keep saying this and do not respond to my comments, so I wonder if
you have some setting disabled.

  If I hover over a multi-window icon on the Taskbar, 'thumbnails'
(small pictures of those windows) popup above the Taskbar and I can
directly see which window I want, click on it and it will 'open' (become
the active window).

  Does that not happen for you? If not, we can try to figure out which
setting you have disabled/not-enabled.

  The 'thumbnails' feature is actually clearer than multiple icons with
labels, because the thumbnails show the full top line of the windows, so
for example the browser thumbnail says 'Media Info Check of 000 ---
Post' for one of Paul's pictures and that description is even *longer*
than that of the tab (which only says 'Media Info Check of'), because
the window has multiple tabs and the thumbnails shows the active one.
