| | Can the "preview" windows feature on the taskbar be disabled? If you have several windows open on the taskbar, and you hover over the taskbar it shows you a "preview" of the windows that are open. Is there a way to disable that "preview" feature? |

| | I assume you mean the taskbar thumbs. It requires a registry edit if you are confident enough to mess with registry settings. Open regedit.exe and navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] There should be a d word value in the right hand side named TaskbarNoThumbnail set its value to 1 to turn off thumbnail previews. Reset to 0 to re-enable thumb nail previews. A registry (.reg) file to turn off thumbs should look like this Quote: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "TaskbarNoThumbnail"=dword:00000001 Quote: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "TaskbarNoThumbnail"=dword:00000000 OOOPS!! I suppose I should have really mentioned I only use these registry edits when I'm busy in Photoshop.  Last edited by Elmer BeFuddled; 06 Jun 2010 at 09:00 PM.. |
