    Taskbar


    Good morning,

    I have a question regarding the Windows & taskbar. I have pinned a bunch of icons for applications I use frequently to the taskbar. How do I set up the taskbar so when I waive my mouse over the icon the icon gets bigger... My MAC has that feature and someone told me you can do it in Windows 7.

    Does anyone know how?

    Thank you,
    Tommy

    The only way that is possible is with a program like Roketdock and that is a totally separate bar from the default Taskbar.

    In this picture it shows that you can do it.

    Windows 7 Concept : Dock-Taskbar

    That picture has nothing to do with the Windows 7 taskbar. What Grim said is the truth. You cannot do it with the default 7 taskbar.

Is there a method/hack or a 3rd-party program that allows the user to hide the taskbar by dragging its top border line downwards, after un-locking the taskbar? I remember I could do that under Win9x.
