How can I disable or customize the image preview, which displays when a user hovers over an app's icon on the taskbar?


In Windows with Aero... When the user hovers their mouse over the application's icon, a small preview of the app appears just above the taskbar. I'm looking for any information regarding how I can disable this preview or change/customize what appears in this little preview image box.

Note that I'm not looking to disable Aero features as a user - I'm looking to control this in-app.

Thank you in advance for answers!

  • Here is wrapper lib of the API, which controls these features in Windows - Jump Lists, Icon Overlay, Progress Bar, Tabbed Thumbnails, and Thumbnail Toolbars http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack
