    Enable or disable Taskbar Thumbnails using System Advanced settings

    Taskbar Thumbnails are minimised pictures, a snapshot of the open screen tab, which appear when the cursor hovers over the open tab icons on the taskbar. If you then move the cursor over the snapshot, the whole window appears on screen to show you what is running on that tab. If you then click it, the screen logs onto that window and completely displays it.

    2.Click on ‘System’

    6.In the ‘Visual effects’ tab, locate the following settings:

    7.To enable the Taskbar thumbnail previews, select the boxes; while to disable it, uncheck the boxes.
