    Browser tab preview in taskbar icon?


    I'm OK with the different look of 7/8/10, but I really miss the XP feature of seeing essentially the contents of the open browser tab mirrored in the taskbar icon. Is there any way to get that functionality in Win 10?

    Thanks!

    Right click on a blank part of the taskbar. On the Taskbar tab, in the centre, clear Use Peek to preview the desktop.

    Hi @CTPhil welcome to tenforums.com! *Smile

    Right click on your taskbar, choose Properties, on the 'Taskbar' tab, drop the menu down beside "Taskbar buttons" and choose 'Never combine', click Apply and OK.
