Windows 10: Taskbar peeking is supposed to be turned off but is still happening

I want to turn taskbar peeking off. I found the setting that's supposed to do it, and unchecked it, but it's still happening. Looking here I found someone suggesting adding a key called "ExtendedUIHoverTime" to the registry, but I couldn't get that to work--the person said to write it all out in Notepad and save it as a reg file, but when I did that when I tried to merge it with the registry it told me it wasn't a real registry file (and yes I did make sure that the extension on the file was .reg). I also tried adding it in the registry editor myself but that didn't change anything.

How do I change Taskbar icon preview from Thumbnail peek to List peek in Win 10 v 1703?

I'm running Win 10 Creators Update v 1703 build 15063.332 on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD \ i7 desktop PC \ R9 390 GPU with Crimson 17.5.2 drivers.

How do I change the Taskbar icon preview from Thumbnail peek to List peek in Win 10 v 1703. It would be the same type of taskbar icon previews as it was in Win XP.

Is there a way to change this natively in Win 10 v 1703?

Thanks
