I'm new with the whole Vista thing (having started using it two days ago) but yesterday I found that none of my windows appear in the taskbar. The only way I have of changing between windows is that new button in the Quicklaunch that says switch between windows, but it's getting very annoying to have to use that every time I want to switch between activities. When I go to the Properties of the Taskbar, I see that the Show window previews (thumbnails) box is unchecked and grayed out so I can't check it. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

There's the possibility that the taskbar has been resized. Try this: Right-click the Taskbar > Uncheck Lock the taskbar > Pull the handle to the left (Mouse pointer will change to a double-headed arrow when over the handle)

I've been playing with that for a while and nothing is happening. I got a thumbnail preview to appear somehow (I have no idea how) and it was coming from underneath the Quicklaunch and that's where it looks like all the windows minimize to.

Can you provide a snip. Use the snipping tool > Start > Al Programs > Accessories > Snipping Tool (If you right click it, you can select to place the snipping tool on you Quick Launch toolbar)
