At work, I use a form of Win7 that is customized for my company.
On the task bar, Chrome (for example) shows the icon (with the slightly hidden icon indicating that there is more than one window).
When I click the icon, Chrome becomes the active window and there is a pop up choice (from the task bar icon...see above) for each Chrome window (not tab).
So, if I have 3 windows with 2 tabs in each window, the icon pop up will show three choices (listing the name of the active tab in each of the three open windows as a choice)
IE, on the other hand, shows the icon (with the slightly hidden icons indicating a few open windows). If I click the icon, IE doesn't become the active window. In addition, the pop up lists all open tabs as well as windows.
So, if I have 3 windows with 2 tabs each, the pop up will show six pop up choices, representing every open tab.
As my work requires a number of IE tabs/windows, this pop up becomes a mess and with many similarly named tabs (applications), the list is difficult to navigate. I'd prefer to have IE act like Chrome, in that, the pop up only shows active windows (not tabs).
I'm not sure if my company's locked down version of Windows is causing this, but was wondering if there was an option that I can click to change the behavior.
The redacted image (bottom of the image above) shows each of the IE tabs.
Thanks!
