  1. Stupid taskbar - don't drop previews if I close an instance


    Multiple instances of a program stack on the taskbar. When you hover over the stack, you get preview windows. When you close one of the preview windows, all previews disapear.

    I want to leave the previews up if at all possible. I may have 12 excel files open, I may be done with 6 of them, so I just want to X those 6 quickly and move on.

    Since I don't know what this hover preview thing is actually called, googling an answer is very difficult.

    Does anyone know the name of this feature?

    EDIT: I thought it was a problem for all programs, it is excel specifically that is not working as expected.

    The feature is called Taskbar preview and is not supposed to remain open after you remove the cursor from the icon. So it is working proper when it closes preview once the cursor is removed from the Taskbar icon.

    EDIT: I have seen Taskbar preview stick and stay open before myself even after the cursor has been removed but that not suppose to happen and I don't know for sure why it happens in the first place but I'm guessing it has to do with memory running low .....
