Mine shows the window title... but for some reason I can't seem to get a snip of it.

Yes, those are the titles I'm referring to. I'm not sure how they disappeared, it took me a while to notice. Maybe there is a registry key that can bring it back or something?

I believe you are talking about the peek feature in Windows 7. Maybe you accidentally turned it off? Does this help you http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/838-aero-peek-turn-off.html?

Thank you, but AeroPeek was not what I'm referring to. Please refer to the screenshots provided by myself and by Dwarf in the preceding posts.

Oh, that is because I have the option "Taskbar buttons: Combine when taskbar is full". the title is not shown in the preview for that case. I didn't think about the label-less iconic mode.

Wow! Thank you Logicearth, I think you helped me figure it out.
Based on what you wrote, I tested out the different taskbar options. I found when I put on "Always Combine, Hide Labels", the titles above the preview thumbnail return.
I recently put my icons on "Never Combine" which for whatever reason caused the titles above the thumbnails to disappear. I think I would prefer if they didn't disappear on "Never Combine", but at least I know that I didn't mess something up on my computer.
Thank you everyone for your assistance
