Why would you want to disable it?

You know Radenight that is like saying why would someone have there dektop text zoomed at 200% instead of at 100%. Different people like different things and obviously he finds the thumbnails annoying and wants to get rid of them. I know for one that some people like the UAC control on their computer while i dont.

...yeah I didn't really say anything about what he likes or dislikes... I simply asked a question... there could have been a reason like it was buggering up his computer.. in which case an alternative to disabling it could have been offered.

I know I was just giving you a bad time and found that this was a great time to claim my line for the disable and other people who disable the cool features in Operating Systems. No Hate intended

Same here..., but Sidebar gadgets don't work if u completely turn off the UAC...,
Is it same for u???

Sidebar Gadgets work just fine for me. I use the CPU Meter, Clock, and Currency

there is no

just a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
and a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

I want those taskbar preview gone because I find them useless and annoying and I never use them.
