One of the most prominent features of Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 7 is the taskbar which its new functionality. The new features include the ability to pin programs to the taskbar, display thumbnail previews of open windows and tabs (for example from Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer or the latest version of the Firefox web browser) and jumplists that offer quick links to application specific features.
The free software program Windows 7 Taskbar Tweaker is a portable application for the Windows 7 operating system. It can be used to modify several of the default options of the Windows 7 taskbar to speed up Windows 7, to be precise:
- Right-click on a taskbar item to either display jumplists (default) or the standard window menu
- Change grouping from grouping applications to not grouping them
- Change dropping items to the taskbar from pinning them to opening them
- Change the middle-click behavior from opening a new program instance to either closing the window or focusing the window
- Change left-click on grouped item button from opening the thumbnail preview to cycling through the windows.
- Disable the thumbnail preview
The new settings become available after clicking on the apply button in the program window. The software program is available for download at the developer’s website for both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows 7 operating system.
