It's not often I get angry with those who are less of intellect than I think.

I apologize.

Gees, I wish I had thought of this. I'm passing it on. I think I got it from ZD Net. I'm not sure. Go figure. :o)

I've been using it for a while, and it just gets better.

"Speaking of "iconizing," Windows 7 uses nothing but icons on the taskbar, even for programs that are currently running. If you like the idea of doing away with the text that traditionally accompanies taskbar program icons, a simple Registry tweak will make it happen.
1. Click Start, type regedit, and press Enter.
2. Find and click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics value.
3. In the right pane, right-click in an open space and choose New, String Value.
4. Name the new string MinWidth, and then set the value to -255.
5. Exit the Registry Editor, and restart your system.

Presto! Now you'll have only icons in your taskbar. If you don't like the look after all, return to the Registry and delete the newly created entry."

So, whatdayathink? :o)

Not a good idea at all!. <H>.
