Disable Windows 7 Tab Thumbnails in Opera 10.5
Written by Vygantas Lipskas on December 26, 2009
Here is a quick way on how you can disable Windows 7 Aero Peek for Opera 10.5 web browser.
Right click on opera.exe
Properties > Compatibility, check “Run this program in compatibility mode” and select Windows Vista SP.
Apply settings.
That’s it.
Update:
You can now type the following text in the address bar:
opera:config#UserPrefs|UseWindows7TaskbarThumbnails
Uncheck highlighted setting.
Thanks to Rafael Luik for that!







tanx . it were difficult to manage windows when there were so many tabs .
opera is only browser that can hold a huge amount of tabs
why would anybody want to disable it?
because with that jumplist You can’t simply minimalize and restore Opera. even if there is one tab opened
why not ? if you use just 8 – 9 tabs , it’s very nice and use full … but ifyou usually open 100 – 200 tabs in 8 – 9 windows , you will berfer using areo to manage windows not tabs .
opera has a mouse over tab preview and visual tabs . very use ful tools to manage tabs .
IE and firefox usually crashes when I opean more than 20 tabs .
and chrome takes a huge amount of memory . really huge . safari has a very bad tab managing UI , like FF . but if you use a huge amount of add-ones in FF , it will has a better tab managing UI …
and IE … let’s don’t talk about it
