Do you find it difficult to locate a program, browser, or file on your computer?

This can be a frustrating task, especially when you have multiple programs running at the same time.

Let’s say that you have 10 different programs running and they are all minimized down in your taskbar.

With Windows 7, you can now hover your mouse over the icons in your task bar and a thumbnail will pop up showing you exactly what that program is.

With the improved taskbar features and these quality thumbnails, you will be able to quickly and easily switch between the many programs you have running on your PC at once.

If you choose to load a program from your taskbar, the program instantly loads onto your desktop and pops up right in front of your face!

The Windows 7 taskbar also has a new feature called Peek (located at the bottom right of your screen, at the very end of the taskbar).

With Peek, you will be able to instantly see the desktop while at the same time you can get a sneak peek as to where all of your currently running programs are.
