I don't have a 7 or 8 around anymore but I think it was the same in both. I currently have over 20 browser tabs to the point that it shows one 'Internet Explorer' tab in the task bar and if you hover over it and hover over a line item, it pulls that item full screen - or goes away if you don't select it. Other tabs (Dos, Notepad, etc,) just show a small thumbnail.jimmie57 said:

The preview works if you are able to handle Windows Aero effects in Windows 7. However, if your personalization is set to Windows Basic, no preview.

I had a real mess this morning and I am pretty sure it was my own doing. I had never signed into the Microsoft Account since I downloaded the Windows Live email several years ago. That was all I was using.
Well, I signed in this morning. The default on Sync under Change Account Settings defaults to all ON.
This immediately cross imported all the shortcuts from my Laptop and Desktop and thus created Duplicate entries for all. The reason it did that was because I routinely name them something short and direct and they are not all consistent. Example on one machine I called Yahoo Email, Email Yahoo. To the machine those are different. It took me a couple of hours to undo all of that.
Then I discovered the Microsoft Password was my password for my desktop and I had not been using one to log in with . For curiosity I logged off my Laptop and then back on. NOT. The Password for the laptop was now the Microsoft Account password.
I now have Sync set to ON and all options individually set to OFF. I have the laptop back to it's original password but did not get the desktop to do that for some reason. I can live with it for now. LOL, maybe until tomorrow.
Then I moved onto another problem with Homegroup. I eventually found that I had to Shutdown each computer, then start up one, then create the Homegroup and then the second machine could join it.
Mercy ! Too much monkey business for today.

After my fight with my SSD and finally getting Win 10 to install, I've run into an odd problem...and I guess I'm not the only one.
I can't move my desktop icons. They will re-arrange if I change the way they are viewed, but can't move them individually.
I've tried many of the 'fixes' out there but none have worked. I have not created a new userid yet. That seems drastic.
Anyone else have this issue?
