Ever since I started on Windows 7, the little pop-ups you get over your taskbar when mousing down there annoyed me. I know they have a real name — but they aren’t really “previews” for me on Windows Classic, and they’re not really tooltips, either? They’re basically just pop-ups that allow me to close a window — which isn’t useful for me because I turn off collapsing.
7 Taskbar Tweaker finally provided a way for me to get rid of these pop-ups. The only downside is having to run it when I don’t want the taskbar pop-ups (so basically, always). That said, it’s a tiny program and thus far I’ve encountered no issues with it affecting performance.
Another tweak offered by this program I enjoy is the pinned application behavior. I often accidentally click a pinned program — but pinning is useful enough to me that I don’t want to unpin everything and go without. So — I set 7TT to open pinned applications only on double-click. No more accidentally opening Photoshop!
