This layout mode provides maximum workspace flexibility. Multiple commands can be opened, each in a separate window. The application menu bar displays in a separate Java application window and each command opens in a new browser window on your Windows taskbar. In the No Frames (Grouped) mode, the windows are grouped into one browser icon on your Windows Taskbar.
