How To Stop Pop Up In Task Bar?

[Bright Spark]

Can someone please direct me as to how I can get rid of the nasty
pop-up window thing that appears every time my cursor hovers over an
item in the task bar - it's making me nuts and sometimes I
accidentally click it and it closes the folder or software I'm using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Amazing that it involves having to get different software
for what seems to be a simple task!!

Thanks. You'd think it would just be a simple setting! Trust MS to
make things difficult, I guess! ))

Now that you've gotten some useful replies, let me mention this.

I very much like that feature, and although I think I have seen where
to disable it, I didn't do that, since I find it useful. In other
words, I want to present another view for your consideration.

Or your rejection

Seems folks don't understand usefulness of a lot of features and the
knee jerk reaction is to kill/disable them. Sometimes they learn,
sometimes they get bitter. I watch.

I just posted a similar remark about a poster in another thread (about
Libraries) in this NG. The user I was criticizing[1] for not learning
was ... me.

And seriously, if Bright Spark doesn't like that feature, it's totally
his prerogative to disable it. His reasons might seem valid to me if I
understood them better. OTOH, I'm probably not really all that
charitable, if the truth be told.

[1] OK, it was very mild, even indirect, criticism, but still ...

Verbal adjective (participle) and proper noun.

Thanks, Gene - that is a valid point. However, I have given it a
decent shot to prove its usefulness to me (to me), and for my needs it
is just more aggravating than useful at this point. But, of course,
each individual is certainly entitled to his/her own sense of
usefulness, and also, I might change my mind about it down the line,
you never know!! ))

Seems to me that usefulness has different meanings and applications
for different people, Bob, and your own knee jerk reaction that I had
a knee jerk reaction to kill/disable the feature is a bit silly, I
think, since you don't know what my usage and reasoning is, and it
makes you sound rather judgmental instead of helpful. Learning is
good, getting bitter is pointless. A good thing to keep in mind while
you watch, perhaps?
