Turn_Off_Taskbar_Thumbnail_Previews.md

You can disable the taskbar thumbnail feature (sort of) in Windows 7 using a registry edit.

This can be done by setting the taskbar thumbnail preview hover delay to a large value

(say 10000 milliseconds or more), so that the preview is not immediately generated when you hover over a taskbar icon.

Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER

Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named ExtendedUIHoverTime

Double-click ExtendedUIHoverTime and click Decimal

To increase the hover delay to 5 seconds, type 5000. Type 10000 for 10 seconds and so forth…

Exit the Registry Editor.

Restart your computer.
