Another Taskbar Surprise?
Just found this and wasn't sure if it had been discovered. Did a little searching and didn't find anything immediately so wanted to share. I just copied some videos/photos off of my camera's SD card to test transfer rate and noticed that the progress bar is shown as filler in the icon on your taskbar. Pretty neat.
Sorry if this is indeed old news.

Nobody noticed this? Im sure many of you might have. It happens when we copy any file.
Also when explorer loads a folder with too many pictures or videos in thumbnail mode, the address bar fills up with green colour.

As for installs, install something from Windows Update....
And not surprising that it does not work for non Win7 stuff - this is new, my Fx currently does it on tabs when loading tabs and in the taskbar, and does DLs in the taskbar....
