Cool--glad you are having fun with it. Maybe this (Win 7) will quiet the Apple fanbois a bit?? On further thought--NOTHING could get them to temper their zealous love of all things-Apple, could it? LOL![/QUOTE]


Um, probably not. I don't think ANYTHING will. PITAs... LOL

Well, you're certainly entitled to it, as we all are.

But just FYI, I'm not one of the "guys," but one of the "ladies."

Sorry, I'm only a little tetchy when it comes to users disliking-without-trying Windows 7 genius features, which I think are what makes it the greatest invention since the computer.

Another one is SuperPrefetch which actually anticipates everything you normally do and cues it up for you. This can cause certain machines to run a little slower while it is initiating itself in the days after install. So some want to turn it off.

I realize this should not bother anyone, but it seems like something a person with a year's experience as beta tester should warn against, maybe not as passionately tho.

Didn't half the world's Windows users Beta test Win 7?? I had it running the day it was available, on several machines.

I think I read six million. That's many more times than Vista.

Well, how about telling me how to turn it back on.
Some how i turned it off and i really liked that feature.
I guess i was some where i should have been and turned something off.

Any help would be great.
Thanks
Jody

You want to turn back on the taskbar thumbnail previews?

Start here first: Start>right click Computer>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Performance Settings>Visual Effects tab> check Save taskbar thumbnail previews

Did you run a registry tweak given earlier? If so, return to the tutorial and rightclick>delete the D-Key disabling previews. Set a restore point first.

thanks, i'll try it

I tried resetting to "0" and did a restart, and still nothing. When i hover over the task bar items instead of showing a preview screen it shows text of whats open.
