I recently had an update on my work computer (Windows 7 Pro). After rebooting, i now have a problem with my taskbar icons: the labels are visible and buttons not groupping.
I want to restore the defaut behavior of Windows (hide labels and combine icons) but the option "Taskbar buttons" in the taskbar's "Properties" menu is disabled...
Is there a way to restore it directly by editing the registry ?

Click on Start Menu, click Run, then type regedit and hit enter. The key is located in, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Locate the key TaskbarGlomLevel and change its value to 0, 1 or 2 as per your requirement.
To always combine, hide labels (default): TaskbarGlomLevel = 0
Combine when taskbar is full: TaskbarGlomLevel = 1
Never combine: TaskbarGlomLevel = 2
Hope this helps.

Thanks but the value is already on 0 for this key :/ – Dynamite – 2018-02-26T09:53:54.047
Looks like your IT department locked it to "never combine" through a group policy. Whether the TaskbarGlomLevel value exists or not, or whatever value it it set to, has no meaning anymore after they enforce that policy. – Luc VdV – 2018-08-01T12:59:27.060
