    You don't need to do anything as this is a feature of Windows XP.  I believe that XP simply uses the path to the binary to determine what windows to group together.  It also uses the security context I believe because if you open 2 different Explorer windows under different security contexts it'll create 2 task bar buttons instead of grouping them.

    Note that by default, even with grouping enabled, Windows will not start grouping until it runs out of room.  You need to use TweakUI to group irrelevant of space available on the taskbar.  Alternatively look at KB8281628.
