How to group different apps on Win 7+ taskbar? I pin my "chrome_portable_loader.exe" on taskbar to launch chrome browser, I wish chrome's icon can group with the "chrome_portable_loader.exe" icon on taskbar. Here is a solution, https://code.google.com/p/win7appid/, setting the shortcut's AppID the same as chrome window's AppUserModelId. see also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378459%28VS.85%29.aspx. Can someone translate it to Autoit?
