Stable system - Part 2 (Windows 7)

5. Accelerate the displaying

          In Windows 7, if you hold the mouse cursor over a window from taskbar a long period of time, the system will display an icon with it. If you are a hurry, you want to reduce the time required to activate this function, especially as the small display window is delayed by 400 milliseconds. But rest assured, because this function of the operating system can be customized using a Windows Registry key.
a) To enter the registry, type regedit into the search phrase the Start menu and press [Enter]
b) Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ ControlPanel \ Mouse.
c) To customize the time, double-click the right side of the entrance Mouse Hover Time.
d) The displayed value is measured in milliseconds and is the time you need to spend your cursor over an item until action is executed, where's our thumbnail display. Change the value to 100 and click OK to confirm the action.
e) Close the Windows Registry and reboot. From this point on, you will see how the preview window appears almost instantly.

6. Switching between applications

           Windows 7 by default hides many of the symbols in the taskbar and it would be preferable to extend the display time for some of them. You can adjust the display mode icons individually for each program and as needed.
a) Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar and choose Properties from the context menu.
b) Select the Taskbar and click the Customize button in the Notification area.
c) The next window contains a list of all applications that have a correspondent in the taskbar or have ever had one. Identify the program that interests you and click on the drop down menu associated with it on Show icon and notifications.
d) Repeat step for each program that you want displayed when active. Installed and recently used programs need to repeat the procedure. Avoid using the option Hide icon and notifications for important applications because some notifications may go unnoticed.
e) The settings will be applied after clicking OK and reboot.
