Used to middle-clicking tabs in Firefox, I'm finding myself instinctively middle-clicking taskbar icons, expecting it to close them, and annoyed when it opens a new instance instead. Is there something that can make this happen?

It has exactly that behaviour, just move to the preview and then click with the middle button. There are a lots of mouse and hotkeys shortcuts, see de Windows help for more information. Some other useful hotkeys are by example: ctrl+shift+click: launch elevated, shift+click:launch a new instance, ctrl+click:go to the most recently used windows of the aplication clicked, etc, etc. – voodoomsr Feb 11 '11 at 22:15
@voodoomsr - please post this as an answer. – Randolph West Feb 12 '11 at 8:50
@voodoomsr Thanks, that helps but clicking on the actual icon not the preview would be much preferable. – Dataflashsabot Feb 12 '11 at 16:43

One of the very nice things that 7 Taskbar Tweaker can do is "Middle Click -> Close".
