I'm using a fresh install of windows 7 build 7077 and neither of those methods work for me.
Unable to turn off Taskbar Thumbnail

Hello Moffasin, and welcome to Seven Forums.
It appears that the option to disable the taskbar preview thumbnails is no longer available in Windows 7 in these later builds. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a way to do so other than the normal methods that were listed here.

K, it worked for like 1 minute then it went back. I have no idea what happened or why, but the thumbnails are back now.

Well, since this is part of the Aero feature, a workaround is to use a Basic or Classic theme instead of a Aero theme. You would then not have thumbnail previews for the taskbar.
Theme - Change or Save
Hope this helps. :)Last edited by Brink; 18 Apr 2009 at 21:57.

Already knew about that, a shame it doesnt work with Aero enabled :/

I'm not sure why Microsoft has removed this option either. Hopefully it will return in the next build.

Ok I found out why it was gone before, if the thumbnails are wider than my resolution is it becomes text instead of images. :/

Moffasin,
I'm not certain I understand what you mean by if the thumbnails are wider than your resolution. Could you explain what you meant more?
Thank you,
Shawn

Sorry if I wasnt being clear, I mean if there are enough pictures that the combined width of them is wider than my screen is, it becomes text instead of images.

I'm not on a 7 box right now, but if you go to apperance and performance section(not sure where that is) there's a whole list of items you can check/uncheck. One of them there allows you to turn off the thumbnails.
(I'm pretty sure I saw it on my 7077 build at home, recently)
