How to group pinned applications that are closed in Windows 7 taskbar?

Question

When you close a pinned application in Windows 7 taskbar, the icon will remain at its place. Leading to a taskbar that contains closed apps, opened apps, closed apps…:

alt text

I would like to group the closed application to the left, like this:

alt text

Of course I can do this manually. But I would like to automate this behavior.

The solution is the Don't group option of 7 Taskbar Tweaker. Found via superuser.
