Tiny program, REALLY usefull...



Basically, give a preview of the window when your mouse goes over the task in the taskbar

Just thought I'd share this little find.

Yeah it's good, but I can't scale my preview image, and it's a bit small. It says use the mouse wheel, but that doesn't work with my mouse.

Neat, but I can't say I'd find a use for this at all :\ In the time it takes for the mini window to pop up, I could just click it and it would be up already.

I quite like that actually. Will be good at work where we normally have dozens of strategically placed terminal emulators and office documents open at once. Since I've been reduced to one machine (had 4 at one point) then I feel a little cramped. Even with the multiple desktop mods you can install.

Wasn't there also some tool that allowed the ALT-TAB to show a preview image? Was on my old machine but for the life of me can't remember how to get it.

Cheers

Neat little accesory .

Why it doesn't work too well with IE and firefox I've no idea though - like if it simply stacked browser windows so you could select them when it just lists the amount of open windows on the task bar. That's where this would be most usefull, navigating grouped items quickly, rather than checking each one, one at a time, until you find the one your after.

Just noticed that it doesn't seem to work at all with MS Access 2003.
