    Display Open Windows as List, NOT Thumbnails


    Hello everyone,

    I love the way that Internet Explorer 8 displays all of its open tabs/windows in a list view when you hover over the IE8 Taskbar Icon, and there are too many tabs/windows open to display them as thumbnails. I would like it to always display the open tabs/windows in a list view. Furthermore, I want my other programs, such as Outlook, where I have multiple items open, to display them in a list, rather than thumbnails, when I hover over the Outlook icon in the taskbar.

    Is there any way to get this to happen, even if I have to use a software add-on?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Best regards,

    Juan Antonio

    Hi Juan Antonio,

    You can do this by switching to a Basic theme: Theme - Change or Save

I’m using Windows 7 Starter 32-bit. My Windows Explorer can display thumbnails perfectly fine, EXCEPT for a few files. Some FLVs and AVIs have thumbnails, while some others don’t. It’s not an issue of a slow CPU or bloated RAM, cause I’ve waited and waited, but some thumbnails are still missing....
