How to Make Icons Display More Quickly on the Taskbar
The
taskbar provides shortcuts to frequently used items, allowing you to
simply click on an icon and open the associated program. When you hover
your mouse over an icon, you can easily see what that icon is and what
it does.
Unfortunately, those descriptions
can be slow to appear sometimes, and that can reduce your productivity
and increase the amount of time it takes to open your programs. If you
are having this problem, you can tweak Windows 7 to make those thumbnail
descriptions display much more quickly. Just follow these steps to make
the taskbar more useful.
Click the Start button and type
regedit in the Search box. This opens the Windows Registry. Note that
you should always back up the registry before you make any changes.
Navigate the registry and go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse section
Highlight the MouseHoverTime setting and double-click it.
Lower the number in the box to
display the thumbnails more quickly. The default setting is 400
milliseconds, but you can choose any number you wish – 150 milliseconds
is a good choice
After you are done making the change, simply click the red X to close the registry editor and see the results of your tweak.
