Disable the taskbar preview thumbnail

Original title: turning off the features of the taskbar

First of all, I try to find the language to describe the problem and am having some problems finding even screenshots and the names of the taskbar functions that I am referring. It would be useful to exremely if Microsoft coul name and give each part of Windows n screeen screens shots.

When I move my mouse over a system tray icon, several improved features come into play. I can find references to jump lists and how to control them and previes and how to control them. I have not yet found a name description or window porper list of open applications that appears when the mouse pointer hovers over a system tray icon. For example, if I have 10 copies of Internet Explorer open, a list of ALL existing open Solution Explorer and their titles of search bar. Without knowing the name of this window, it is difficult to ask the question - it would be useful to have a tool pointer "what is it?" to name a windows object and its properties.

The problem with this list, which is the only option in the list to select one of the cases listed in the request. There is no function to close the list, or an easy path to keep the list of popping up. I guess that Microsoft appears to be an extremely useful tool that they think to include personalization and the user of the control functions.

To me, they are exceptionally intrusive and severely interrupt the flow of work. I have absolutely no use for lists. I often 20 or multiple instances of Internet Explorer or other applications open at the same time. When one of these lists appear, it can substantially cover the workspace. These list windows are designed to be sticky or persistent - so that they can stay open for long periods of time. If they pop up open over an application (for example, Access or Excel), and then the data entry fields are not accessible until the window disappears.

The problem is made more difficult by the working environment. I do much of my work on a laptop on a couch, rather than on a desktop computer. And the task bar has been set at 4 layers deep. The result is that when I take the mouse to the keyboard, there are often a few slippages. When the pointer slips through the icons, it evokes these boring lists and interruption of work. I am enter in hundreds of thousands of updated data in day, and blocking access to the data entry fields so is impacting productivity.

I need a way to disable this feature completely and not a hack who sets the time. A time delay function works to a certain extent, but if I type for a prolonged period of time, the mouse pointer will slide, place the cursor on an icon and lead the list pop-up window.

This need to avoid a hack is something that Microsoft must examine more closely. Is only the appropriate forum, but I'll take him anyway, I don't know if Excel 2010 solves this problem, but I had a technical problem with Excel since the beginning. As this issue of the task bar, it seems to come from the programming of assumptions about the uses of the software and uses functions has some "labor saving" which makes it difficult for users who have the least frequent.

Maybe I'm just obtuse, and it's clear, simple solution or option. Any suggestions?

  • Taskbar preview thumbnails is possible remains on permanently in Windows 7?

    I have several application I need to continuously monitor, and I want to do while working on other points. It would be very useful if I could make the previews thumbnails in the taskbar to stay on all the time instead of having to hover over them to see.

    Is it possible to make them on all the time thanks to a setting?

    Hello

     
    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
     
    I understand that you want the thumbnails to stay permanently under Windows 7.
     
    In fact, this feature is not included in Windows to preview the thumbnails at all times. However, you can use favorite search engine and check for any third party software where that can be done.
     

    THIRD PARTY WARNING: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • Disable the page of thumbnails

    I'm not a computer programmer who knows what a Boolean page is. I need an instruction step by step on how to disable the new page of thumbnails. I just want to do what he used to do when I opened a new page-go to my homepage. I'm on OSX 10.9.5

    Please take that I don't know anything what so ever and really break it down barney style.

    This morning I didn't know that this feature exists. I came home from work and POW there are all these similar decals for thumbnails of Safari which were very easy to turn off unlike those of Firefox.

    Type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the enter key to open the topic: config as you open a Web site by typing the URL in the address bar of the page.

    You can start typing browser.newtab.url in the search bar above to locate this preference.
    Open the context menu and select Edit and change the value to your preferred the new tab page.
    The default value is the topic: newtab page with nine tiles with thumbnails.
    If you want a blank page then that you assign to the pref Subject: vacuum

  • Impossible to disable the column "Preview" in the Finder Windows

    Before that I describe this problem, I just want to clarify that I have configured Finder to always open folders in a new window, and while some of my files are put into mode icon that the majority is set to display in the list.

    Following an upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, some of my Finder list view windows began to show the column "Preview" on the side of the far right, after the date modified column. I don't like this feature because when none of the folders or items are selected it shows just a ugly "blank" space in the window. So, I quickly discovered that I can disable this "Preview" column by selecting "hide the Preview" in the view menu.

    The problem is that once I chose this, in many of my files change does not stick. After a reboot or a restart, I'll go back to the window and the preview column is again. Sometimes it happens immediately after closing the window and opening it again. The worst culprit is my user folder.

    I tried selecting "Hide Preview" and then enter the display options and set as the default view for all Finder Windows, but this makes no difference.

    Anyone know how to disable the overview at all times column in all the windows in the Finder?

    This is what it looks like in my folders set to display from the list:

  • How to reset the taskbar preview window for Excel 2010?

    Hello

    My taskbar do not display all my Excel workbooks in the form of individual windows when I hover over the button. It's annoying because it makes it more difficult to pass from one to the other. This happens when workbooks are open in different instances of excel. "Show all windows in the taskbar" is checked in the Excel options. I searched internet but cannot find an answer to this question.

    I also noticed that the preview for Windows Media Player window is the play/pause and another aymore buttons. I think that the issues are linked.

    These questions appeared at the same time and after that I got a malware that took me a while to get rid of.

    I'm not an expert but have above average computer litteracy.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello Julian,.

    Thank you for the update.

    Please, don't worry about creating another account user has administrator rights. I will help you to create and transfer the data from the old to the new account with the appropriate advice.

    First of all, let's create a new user account. Please follow the steps below:

    To create a user account

    1. To open user accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, click user accounts and control of Securityand then click user accounts .

    2. Click Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Click on create a new account.

    4. Type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type (select Administrator), and then click create an account.

    Once you have created the new user account with administrator rights, you can follow the steps below to transfer the data from the old to the new user account.

    a. then you are connected to the new user account and the office, press Windows key + E to open two Windows File Explorer (do this twice to open two Windows Explorer).

    b. drag one window in the left corner (edge of the monitor) and drop it. Now, the file Explorer window should take half of the screen. Do the same with another file Explorer, then drag and drop it in the upper right of the screen.

    c. Once you have two windows, half of the screen to each catch (left and right), choose one of the window (either left or a right) to access the data you want to move them to a new or previously created folder the folder. Let's say you do this from the left window.

    d d.. now in the right window, create a new folder navigation on the location where you want this folder in one place. To create a new folder, go to the location (desktop, documents, downloads where you want to save) and right click on an empty area, and then click create a new folder. Name the folder, and then click OK. Double-click the new folder that you created which should be empty.

    e. now since the window on the left, drag the data from the folder you want to move to the new folder (in the right window) and drop it.

    Note: You can also copy the data from the left window and paste into law, however, data will be duplicated until you remove them from the left window after pasting in the right.

    Do this for all the data you want to move to the new folder that you created. Once you have moved all the pictures, you can remove empty folders from the left window or delete the old account user completely.

    Well want to try the above first and let us know, we will be happy to help you further.

    Hi RicardoMC,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From the description of the problem, I can understand that you need more information on disabling the taskbar thumbnails.

    Windows 7 does not include a graphical (GUI) User Interface to disable taskbar thumbnail preview.

    The only option that comes pretty close to turning off the feature is by modifying the registry settings. Check out the following link and check if this helps you to disable the taskbar thumbnails.
