    Exclamation windows 7 taskbar in xp ... help?

    i have windows xp home 32bit sp3

    i want my taskbar to look like windows 7 taskbar

    i dont want to install any software or anything

    i dont want it to look exactly 100% like windows 7

    all i want is to remove the text from the app buttons in the taskbar

    so all thats left is the button of the icon.

    I already tried the minwidth reg edit, and set the values in range from 15 to like -255, they work to an extent, but i can still see a letter like

    [<notepad icon>f...]


    when i want it to be like

    [<notepad icon>]

    Does anyone know how to do this??

    Not quite the same, but I run my taskbar up the left hand side, reduced the width and now I just get the icons for whatever's open and no text. Plus cos the icons are small you can fit loads of them vertically and not get clogged-up like when they run across the bottom. Another plus is the extra vertical space you get looking at documents etc. Whoever thought 1080 is better than 1200 vertically wants shooting IMO

    would paste a jpeg screenshot but not sure I can do it. Is this possible if the image isn't on a webpage?
