SPEED UP THE THUMBNAIL PREVIEW OF TASKBAR

thumbnail preview of taskbar icon
In Windows Seven, when you hover your mouse on a taskbar icon, it shows up with a thumbnail preview of that content & when you put away the mouse the preview disappears.

While doing this, the thumbnail appears or disappears slowly taking some times. But you can speed up the process by doing an easy Registry Hack.
N.B: Always create a Restore Point before editing the Windows Registry. If you don't know how to create a Restore Point or find your way around the Windows Registry, see "The tweaker's guide to the Windows Registry."

1. Launch the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Search box and pressing Enter.

2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse.

3. Double-click MouseHoverTime. The default value you'll see is 400 --which means 400 milliseconds. Type in a new, smaller value [150 will be good]. Then click OK and exit the Registry Editor. You'll have to log off or restart your computer for the change to take effect.
