Group applications by Name of the executable

Anónimo hace 12 años actualizado por char101 hace 9 años 2

With the taskbar inspector one can group applications manually by moving assigning them a (e.g. new random) application ID. It would be great if we also could define some rules to do this automatically. CHM files, for example, are not grouped by default since they all have a unique appid, even though they all are opened by %windir%\hh.exe

i second that idea.

would be great if not only the executeable would be available, but also the window title (or if possible the window icon-file)
Alternative way

* create a shortcut to C:\Windows\hh.exe
* use https://code.google.com/p/win7appid/ to set the shortcut appId : win7appid hh.exe.lnk hh.exe
* create a wrapper to open chm files using the shortcut (e.g. using autoit)
chm.au3:
#NoTrayIcon
ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\hh.exe.lnk", @CmdLine[1])
* compile chm.au3 into exe using aut2exe
* in Explorer, right click on a chm file, select Open With, select chm.exe, tick always open with the selected program

Now all the chm files will be grouped in hh.exe appId.
