Windows 7 trick : Remove Thumbnail Preview Time Delay

If you are using Windows 7, you must be aware that you can preview a window by hovering the mouse pointer over its taskbar icon. Well, most of us think that it is a great feature to use. However, in case you have noticed, there is a time delay before which the thumbnail gets displayed. We can remove this time delay by doing this simple registry tweak.

This tweak will help you to completely remove the time delay. Here are the steps to do it.
1. Go to the Registry Editor. Do not select 'Run as Administrator'.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Mouse.
3. Double click on "MouseHoverTime" and enter the new delay value as 0. The default value is 400 which you can change according to convenience.

Save the changes and restart the machine to implement them.
