    How to Enable or Disable Internet Explorer Individual Tabbed Browsing Taskbar Preview Windows

       Information
    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the individual taskbar preview windows in IE8, IE9, and IE10 when using tabbed browsing in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

    If enabled, each tab used will have it's own individual preview window when you hover over the IE icon on the taskbar. If disabled, only one preview window will show on the taskbar when you hover over the IE icon, no matter how many tabs you are using.

    Thanks. I made it because someone asked how to do it in a post. I was a little surprised it wasn't already made long ago.

    I never noticed this was here either... until I wanted it haha. People, or at least me, want this disabled so that you can minimize it by simply clicking on the taskbar icon while multiple tabs are open, rather than having to click on the minimize button at the top of the window...
