decimal...and make sure to restart afterwards

hm...I don't know...but to be safe set it to 40000...that way it will be 40 secs for hovering...if you hover over an icon for that long than you deserve a popup window

You should be able to, since its a DWORD and 32 bits wide.

The hex value of 400,000,000 decimal is '0x 17D7 8400' and is
well within the capacity of a DWORD without touching the sign bit.

BTW,
Did you have to actually create a new value, or was it already there?
Seems as though it should have already been there:

Actually there is an undocumented reg DWORD value called "ExtendedUIHoverTime" at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. Modify its value in decimals where 1000=1 sec. If you set it long enough (e.g.20000/20 seconds), taskbar thumbnails are effectively disabled. Try it.
