Disable IE9 Tab Previews in the Taskbar

Last Updated on

Internet Explorer 9 is set to show previews for all open tabs when the taskbar icon is hovered over. Plenty of people don’t like this feature, so here’s how to disable it.

Are you sick of seeing previews for all of your IE9 tabs whenever you hover over the taskbar icon? Unlike Firefox, IE9 enables multi-tab preview by default. Thankfully, Microsoft gave us an easy way to disable it.
