How to Scroll on the Taskbar in Windows XP
- 1). Right click on the taskbar and select "Properties." Click to check the check box next to "Group similar taskbar buttons," and then click "Apply" and "OK."
- 2). Open all the programs and documents that you want on the screen. Once the taskbar is full, the program and document titles in the taskbar will begin to shrink in size, and all instances of the same program(s)/document(s) will condense into one title rather than several.
- 3). Click on the program or document title, and then use your arrow keys or mouse scroll wheel to scroll through the list of documents on the taskbar. Click to select the desired document.
