Change Windows 7 Taskbar into Windows Vista Style

[Mark]

Some of you, like me, may not like Windows 7's task bar but prefer Windows Vista's task bar.

What do you do?

1. Right Click the task bar >> Properties
2. Tick the box 'Use Small Icons'
3. In the drop down menu labeled 'Taskbar Buttons', choose 'Combine when task bar is full'



4. Click on apply and you're done!

And if you want an XP style, hit Never Combine

THANK YOU!!!! Both Mark and hellnoir. Exactly what I've been trying to find out!

I saw this on some website. However, I like the new Win 7 as everything is combine. All you need to go is just browse your mouse over it, a thumbnail will pop up and the background win will change to that win. If you want that win, just click that thumbnail.

Mine is an opposite case where I already got myself used to Win7 taskbar style when I was running XP/Vista using some tweaks (although the imitation wasn't perfect)...

Win7 taskbar is nice but I still think it requires some sort of a 'boost' to it...there's still something lacking...

I know the feeling Safeguy, I've installed a few add-ons to 7 that I've found much needed... a CPU, RAM, and Swap watcher in SharpEnviro is really nice imo... I just wish it came standard.

Same opinion here.
