In Windows 7, seeing that you can drag and rearrange different applications, is there any way to rearrange separate instances of the same application?

I have an image to show you what I mean:

By default, programs with the same application ID are grouped together. You can change this with a simple registry tweak.

Open regedit (Start -> type "regedit" in the search box and press Enter ). Expand the treeview to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer, modify the TaskbarGlomming value and set it to 0 to prevent the grouping.
