[blackpearl]

The How-To Geek site details how to tweak Visual ToolTip so it displays a thumbnail when you mouse over a window's entry on the taskbar.

there is one more software, called Visual Task Tips. It uses a registry hack to display thumbnail images of minimized windows in XP. It is just 86 kb (i think) and runs as a service. no customization required. I prefer it over Visual Tool Tips. I even managed to run it under vista, as my computer doesnt support Aero.
