How can I disable taskbar thumbnail previews in Windows 8?

I recently installed Win8 and I love it up here (with third-party tools to make it usable).

One thing that I can't seem to fix the taskbar previews. My view is terrible and the fair preview windows to get in the way, and text would be more useful. I know it's fixable in Win7, but methods which do not seem to apply here.

It turns out that the taskbar thumbnails Tuner link someone posted works by changing the 2 following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\
Create the new DWORD value: "ExtendedUIHoverTime" and set it to a very high number (it is in milliseconds) to delay the popup preview almost never (more than 7 weeks, anyway). Apparently he doesn't like it if you set it to 0xffffffff exactly, I think he treats as 0. But 0xfffffffe works very well. Kind of weird.
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband
Create the new DWORD value: "NumThumbnails" and let to 0 to pass the previews to a list when you actually click on a stacked icon.
You will need to restart Windows Explorer before it takes effect, average the simplest is the Task Manager.

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    However, if you want to remove your account information Microsoft User of your computer before selling it, you can use the Microsoft user account to a local account.

    Follow the steps below to do so:

    1. Drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    2. Press or click accounts, and then press or click on your account.
    3. Press or click Disconnect, and then follow the instructions.

  • How can I disable the memory shared in Windows 7?

    I have a PC HP brand new with 6 GB of RAM, and I just installed a 2 GB Nvidia graphics card.  When I checked the graphic properties is what I see...

    MB 4095 total available graphics memory

    Dedicated video memory 2048 MB

    System video memory 0 MB

    Shared system memory 2047 MB

    Total available graphics memory should be 2 GB 4 GB not

    The dedicated video memory is correct.

    Shared system memory must be zero, but it's not.

    When I installed the graphics card and turned on the pc, it automatically installed card and its drivers.

    I read somewhere online that a few new pc will automatically disable the onboard graphics during the installation of a card that I checked, and Yes, it's now disalbled.  But I still see this shared in the properties of the graphics system memory.  Why is this and how can I solve this problem?

    Tom

    At least theres an option in the bios, re graphics memory and it may not be, what you see is what you get.

    Win7 manages memory, including memory graghics

  • How can I disable apps full screen in windows 8

    For example - I read a PDF file, then it fills my monitor 24 inch with 1 file. I really need to fill about a third of my screen, so I can see the PDF, so I create the Word file, I'm trying. I want also several browser windows, a window of power point and excel in WINDOWS window, not full-screen. I NEVER do anything full-screen because it is so restrictive.

    Start with something simple - like PDF reader? How can it NOT be full screen, because I NEVER want it to be full screen?

    Windows 8 has a built-in PDF MS player, who always default to full screen and cannot be changed. The "issue" here comes from the execution of MS Windows 8 applications in mosaic.

    Download an application external, like Adobe Reader and open the PDF file with this application and you can open the PDF file in a window very well.

    I would like to disable VSS on a computer that we use as a terminal. I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit system. I disable it in Services, but my event log fills up with error messages for Volume Shadow Service stating that the service cannot be started.

    Hello

    It is possible to disable the Volume Shadow Copy Service using the Microsoft Management Console. However, you should not do this. VSS disabling negatively affect all software you are using that depends on, like Windows Server backup and system restore.
