Just One Aero Thumbnail Preview per Window

[mkz]

When I have multiple windows belonging to the same program, mousing over them gives me a preview of each window. If there are too many, they a vertical list of the windows appears.

In Vista, I would only see the preview for the window I put my mouse over. A list would never come up.

Since I need to see the previews as quickly as possible and do not have the time to look at multiple ones or navigate through a list, I need a way to restore the Vista functionality where only one preview comes up - the one for the window I moused over.

Hi mkz. There is probably a better way, but this is the only way I know of.

You could always uncombine the buttons, so that when you open a window, you get a "Vista" type Taskbar button, each with its own button.

To do this:
Right click a blank area of your taskbar and click "Properties"

Change "Taskbar Buttons" to "Never Combine"

I already have "Never Combine" selected. I still have the problem described with the previews. Can you verify that, with "Never Combine" on, you get only one thumbnail preview per windows even when multiple instances of the same application are open?
