Windows 7 Taskbar and Copying Files

Windows 7I think the new taskbar in Windows 7 might be a bit annoying for some users, especially those who still prefer the XP style start menu, however I personally think it has some cool features (even if it takes a little getting used to). I noticed one such feature while copying some files. While the copy dialog is open a progress bar is displayed in the taskbar, although it’s only a small change it’s a pretty cool change.

    I’m not sure if you can get a program which does the same thing for XP. This is a built in feature of Windows 7.

    Try wincustomize, they might have something.
