    Can NOT get rid of task bar preview in Win 10


    Last month, I reluctantly entered the unpleasant world of Win10. The UI was so bad, I'm running openshell to give it more of a Win 7 feel. However, I CANNOT get rid of the preview on the taskbar. I disabled peek, I even deleted the entry in the registry that was supposed to fix it. Nothing. I still have to use two clicks to get me where Win 7 only took one. I even changed my theme to high-contrast to disable Aero, but STILL that damn preview keeps popping up. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this vile work flow-ruining bug? Or is there a better option to openshell?


    It's clearly a problem because there are hundreds of people on google trying to get rid of it.


    Thanks!

    :)
