Those annoying preview thumbnails that happen when the mouse accidentally
hovers over a taskbar pinned item can be turned off - if you know how.
It finally bothered me enough to look up how to essentially disable them.
1. Create a new 32-bit DWord value named "ExtendedUIHoverTime" in:
Win+R > regedit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
2. Set the value to "5000 decimal" which is long enough not to activate.
ExtendedUIHoverTime = 5000 decimal
3. Log out & back in, or restart the Windows explorer executable.
Win+R > %comspec% /k taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer

Sometimes these Windows annoyances finally make you wanna kill them.
