Double click on a taskbar icon to launch a new instance of the related program

Anonymous 12 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 10 years ago 5

Scenario: there's a program icon in the taskbar (either pinned or not pinned).

To open a second instance of that program one can now right-click on its icon, wait for the Jump List to open, click on the program "mini"-icon inside it.

A simpler way could be to just double-click the program icon in the taskbar with the left mouse button.

First, you can also use Shift + click.

Second, doing it with a double click is possible with the Mouse Button Control Advanced options:
Name: taskbaritem|ldblclick
Value: 4

See help for more info about the Mouse Button Control options.

Me again: actually I just noted that it's also possible to open a new instance of the first ten programs from the left pressing SHIFT+WIN+number. Just for information.

Thank you RaMMicHael, I just entered this site to write that I found the SHIFT+click method, but you already wrote it. Thank you for the registry information too.

Just a notice: the registry change can't be applied if one's using the portable version of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, as far as I know.

For the portable version, use the ini file.

e.g.:


[Mouse Button Control]

taskbaritem|ctrl+shift+lclick=3
