When you click on, say, Firefox, in the start bar it will show you a preview of the window that you have minimized. Is there a way to get it to just show the title of the window, as WinXP would have done?
Reliable free tweaker, easy to find.
There's no doubt a way in Windows but that's my first thought.
Hello Alfred, :)
As a workaround to effectively disable taskbar thumbnail previews, you can set the ExtendedUIHoverTime DWORD to a very long delay time (ex: 10000 milliseconds) using the tutorial below.
Taskbar Thumbnail Delay Time to Show - Change in Windows 10
This is a great program!
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have the option to do what I'm looking for. I've found a way to disable thumbnails whne I'm hovering over an item on the start menu bar, but when I click on firefox (I have multiple windows open) it still shows me thumbnails instead of showing a list like XP would and there doesn't appear to be an option to change that.
This may be what you're after instead then.
Taskbar Thumbnail Threshold to Show List - Change in Windows 10
Yep, that's it!
I've run into a problem, tho. In this part:
Now, I don't have "NumTumbnails," and the NOTE says I should go to New->DWORD (32-bit) Value. If I have 64-bit Windows do I go New->QWORD (64-bit) Value?4. To Change Taskbar Thumbnail Threshold
A) In the right pane of the Taskband key, double click/tap on the NumThumbnails DWORD to modify it. (see screenshot below step 2)
Note
If you don't have a NumThumbnails DWORD, then right click or press and hold on an empty area in the right pane of the Taskband key, click/tap on New and DWORD (32-bit) Value, type NumThumbnails, and press Enter.
