Get Windows 7 iconized taskbar in your XP, Vista
Windows 7 Taskbar has great features. One of them is the Taskbar does not show text in the application buttons, only show their icons. This is totally nice looking when you have many windows opened at the same time. This feature also saves space in Taskbar area. If you want to have the same feature in Windows XP or Vista then you can get it easily just following the steps below:





  • Go to RUN and type regedit and press Enter. It will open Registry Editor. Now go to the Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

  • In right-side panel, create a new String value MinWidth and set its value to -255



  • That's it. Now Restart your computer and get ready to have iconized taskbar in your Computer.
  • To get the default Taskbar as it before delete the MinWidth String value and restart you computer.

If you don't want it following the above process then you have an alternative way just downloading the follwing Zip file.


Ifter downloading it run the Install.reg file. It will ask you for confirmation, accept it and the Taskbar will change automatically if it does not work then please restart your computer. I hope it will work.
