Can we group items other than firefox in the desktop taskbar?

Question

I want to group some unneccesary items such as explorer into a group so that I can close them once and for all. But this grouping option also group firefox( for some reason I always use 2 seperate firefox in office ). This leads to an extra mouse clicking for open up one of the firefox. Can we group some items while don't group some other? It is win xp.

No. This isn't possible. The taskbar allows you to group windows that are from the same application. So having two instances of Firefox will be grouped by the OS automatically when space runs out on the taskbar.

However, instead of having the same web browser opened twice, you could perhaps use two different web browsers (say firefox and chrome) to overcome this issue.
