    i cant get rid of thumbnail previews


    i tried both of these...
    Taskbar List or Thumbnail Previews Mode - Change

    option 1: nothing happened.

    option 2: when i get to the point where i need to click on "DWORD" the options on that list are all greyed out & im unable to click anything.


    do you have any other suggestions?
