should be retained, the option Enable flashing taskbar buttons must be turned on.
Under Flashing speed you specify how rapidly the button on the taskbar should flash. You have two
options to choose from: The first one lets a window button in the taskbar flash until it is clicked again.
The second option restricts flashing to a certain number specified by you. The default setting is 7.
Under General, you can specify how long Windows should wait after your last key press before
windows from other programs are allowed to appear again.
Button View
Here, you can specify whether and how windows should be represented by buttons on the taskbar.
Under Display you specify the desired maximum width of buttons in pixels. The default value is 154
pixels. If you deactivate the option Show animated buttons, Windows will no longer animate the
corresponding taskbar button when a window is opened. This leaves more computing power available for
other tasks.
Under Grouping you can specify whether and in which cases several windows of a program are to be
represented by a shared button on the taskbar.
Minimized Windows
Sometimes, after the windows of a program have been minimized, only the title bar remains which is
then automatically positioned at the bottom of the screen.
Under Position and alignment you determine the exact target position of these bars. The default
setting is bottom left, where several bars are displayed side by side.
Under Spacing, you can specify how many pixels there should be between the individual title bars.

Places. Among other things you can prevent your computer from being displayed in My Network Places
of other computers and that (using your password) all drives on your computer can be accessed,
although you did not specify any shares.
Advanced
In the Universal Plug & Play section you can turn off the Windows service for automatically detecting
network devices. This function is a potential security risk and should be disabled if you do not need it.
