    Taskbar Pop-Ups


    One of the most annoying things I've personally discovered with Windows 7 regards the taskbar. I do a lot of work with Microsoft Excel, and usually have multiple files running. Every time my mouse even comes close to the taskbar, those preview boxes show up for everything else I have minimized, which cover up my excel tabs, and I have to wait for the preview boxes to disappear. Is there a way to eliminate the preview boxes or anything for that matter from showing up when I mouse over the taskbar?
