Preview taskbar enable/disable

[teemufrosen]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the image preview of your windows in your taskbar. For example, if I hover my mouse over MSN, it will show up all my MSN conversations in small windows above my taskbar, which I find highly annoying and useless at times and want to disable it.

I have googled it and tried several solutions/workarounds, but none of them work. There is one option that actually lets you disable it, but it also says it is a Vista only feature. Why have the option in Windows 7 if it's Vista exclusive?

Help to "fix" this would be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Teemu

There's a tutorial on this. Here.

I've used both workarounds and I find them annoying since the first one only changes my theme to Windows Basic, and the second one delays my hover time for everything, not for just previewing these images.

Thank you for your reply though. It seems that there is no way to disable it. :-/

Not as far as I know. I'd disable it myself if I could find a way.

Unfortunately there is no way to turn it off other than the workarounds already posted

This program can do that and more: 7 Taskbar Tweaker - RaMMicHaeL's home page
I've been recommending this program a lot lately. I want to note that I am not related to this software in any way, I'm just a happy user.

I just read about this and was about to suggest it. Thanks

Thank you very much Ivo, that worked perfectly.

Thanks for that link. Looks useful.

Although, if that guy has figured it out, then presumably there's a registry setting to control it.
