OP did not mention being the adventurous sort -
Re Win 10 Possibly not as useful!
Possibly?

Ah well. That is another advantage of grouping. In Windows 7 if you click on a
grouped icon set then you will see a list of all the windows in the group, with
a large amount of text shown. Windows 10 gives you a row of thumbnails of the
open windows - possible not as useful as the text of the title bars.

The thing that is getting me is that Windows is moving them on me.
I have a bunch of windows open, so the task bar is pretty full.

I'm working with similarly named files, so I can only see the first part of the
name.

I do know which window each on is, until Windows moves them on me.

I think it is like a most used moves to the left, or something like that.
for the Access files, I have temporarily changed the Application Title in the
Startup screen, but it doesn't help with the Excel files or VBA windows.

GRRRR
