Recently we posted a small tutorial on how to get Windows 7 Iconized Taskbar feature in Windows XP and Vista:

Get Windows 7 Iconized (Icon Only) Taskbar Feature in Windows XP and Vista

The above tutorial shows how you can get the iconized taskbar easily by modifying Windows registry.

And now we are very pleased to announce that our very close friend "Solo-Dev" aka "Villain" has created a very small standalone utility exclusively for AskVG.com readers which can do the same task automatically.

"Taskbar Iconizer" is a small portable tool which uses the same registry trick to provide iconized taskbar feature in XP and Vista. You just need to download the file, run it and it'll show following window:

Simply click on the right-side image which shows "Windows 7 Type Iconized" and you have done. You'll need to log off or restart the system to take affect. To restore default settings, click on the left-side image.

no, i want the taskbar icon size like the superbar, but your settings for this have failed me... 3 days ago now. look at the picture... MinWidth IS -255. so how do i get the buttons to be the right size. they have shrank slightly and the icons look too put-out.

^^ No idea mate. Try to delete the key from registry, then run iconized hack again. It works absolutely fine here with SevenVG theme.

I have tried this also. Is there perhaps a method to set the windows registry back to factory settings?
VG

Iconizer only changes that particular "MinWidth" key, nothing else. So once you delete the key, your registry is back to factory settings.

Yeah i know, but when i re-do the Iconizer thing it does the same as before. I might just download the beta of Windows 7.
