    Taskbar stops showing previews


    So recently I've been using windows 7 a lot and every so often the task bar stops showing previews and starts showing tool tips and when I move the mouse off of the taskbar the icon remains highlighted as though my mouse were still over it the only way to fix it is to restart explorer.

    anyone else ever have this issue and or know of a way to fix it?

    Hi Flare561,
    I think Windows Aero has to be enabled in order for the previews to show up. Are you turning it off perhaps? My VGA card did not qualify for Aero so I only see the words. Not the previews.

Hi to everyone on here. I know it's not a big problem, but for me this is for some strange reason, important. I recently tried 'Registry Mechanic" by PC Tools and it seems to be ok, but I will possibly stick to just CCleaner from now on. My issue is that all video (wmv & avi) and image files...
I cannot for the life of me get the folder preview's to go away. They keep popping up on my taskbar when i have a lot of icons. I have tried the ExtendedUIHoverTime thing and that doesn't help. Any suggestions. Currently running on windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Here's a screenshot as...

I like the feature where if I hover over a thumbnail, it will show just that window and hide all the other windows, so I can pop over to another window to check something and then resume working in my current window. But the problem I have at the moment is that I have to move the cursor to the...
