If you haven’t gone through the Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts list yet, you may be wondering if it’s possible to open all the windows which are grouped under a single icon in the Taskbar. Luckily, there is a keyboard shortcut available for this so that you don’t have to open each window in the group one at a time.

Restore all windows in a group

To restore all windows in a group, press the SHIFT key down, right-click on the group icon in the Taskbar. You’ll see a menu with the following options.

  • Cascade
  • Show windows stacked
  • Show windows side by side
  • Restore all windows
  • Minimize all windows
  • Close all windows

Click Restore all windows.

Open windows one at a time

To open each window at a time, hold the CTRL key and click on the group icon. This cycles through the windows in that group.
