 Windows Vista only: If you like
the look of the
icon-only taskbar in the Windows 7 Preview, you can get (almost) the
same thing in Vista. The IntoWindows tech site explains that using a free
utility, EnhanceMyVista, you can set your taskbar to only show the icons of
open windows, instead of the icon and title. IntoWindows says this is how
to get the Windows 7 taskbar in Vista, but I disagree—this does NOT
enable Windows
7's Aero Peek feature, or let you pin programs to the taskbar
dock-style. It only halfway gives you the look of Windows 7, and not the
functionality. Still, for crowded taskbars with tons of open windows and
Vista's thumbnail previews, the icon-only look might come in handy.
EnhanceMyVista is a free download for Vista only and includes scads of
other Vista tweaks. Thanks, HisNameIsChris!
