Showing progress in the Windows 7 Taskbar

I just spotted something really cool in the Windows 7 taskbar. When you download something and minimise the download window in IE to the task bar, the button for the application will continue to show the progress and have a green bar make its way across the button.

Windows 7 has some pretty cool features.

  2. Gosh! You do ask a lot of questions.

    Don’t know if it is possible. I’m not in a position to find out and test if it is as I ditched Windows XP two years ago when Vista came out.

    even if there was an application like that, few applications utilize this function, except win7′s ie7 & explorer…..so an application which simulates this function for xp would be useless
