    Can I get thumbnail previews to permanently appear somewhere?


    I am looking to have certain taskbar thumbnail previews appear on a 2nd monitor, in grid formation, as a way to monitor the activity of all the programs at once.

    I need the previews to stay active and open whether the program is minimized or maximized.

    Thanks,
    MC

    Well if you were a programmer you could write this yourself by interfacing the DWM to get the thumbnails you wanted. But seeing as your case is highly unique finding a pre-made solution is very unlikely. It is not a question if its possible but rather, who else wants, what you want.

I just set up a new computer (Win 7 Pro). The thumbnail preview on the Taskbar is an very useful tool; it visually shows the document I'm working on and makes it easy to open it from the Taskbar. I'm getting that "oh, no" feeling one gets when something important is missing and can't get it back....

I know Windows 7 comes with thumbnail preview like Windows Vista, but since I installed it it's only given the names of the open programs when I scroll over it versus the thumbnail photo. I didn't change any of these settings and I researched on how to change it. Most say to search "GPEdit.msc" and...
