Lacks the most useful: select many and close them all.
January 21, 2014
Pros
Available features are just fine.
Cons
In earlier versions of Windows, it was possible to select several items in the taskbar by holding Ctrl, right click and select "close" to close them all. Now, you need to close items one by one, what is really boring when, like me, you often need to open about 15 differents program during a work session. I was really looking forward to finding this as the first tweak of a "taskbar tweaker"... Hopefully in a later version.
Summary
Provides improved economy of space in task bar.

Cons
None at this time.
Summary

Helpfull program but one problem for me.

Pros
Unsticks taskbar programs from each other.
Cons
Doesn't remember its settings for middle click function upon reboot.
Summary
I like this a lot, but one of the main reasons I use it is for the ability to close programs on the taskbar with a middle click. However every time I restart my computer this program seems to rest to its default of opening a new program with middle click. So I have to open taskbar tweaker... I see that its still set for "close program with middle click"... I close the program... and then it works fine. Just a pain to have to do this every time I start my computer. Any ideas?
This is exactly what I wanted! Couldn't be happier.

Pros
Removes those infuriating Win7 Taskbar popups in on click.
Cons
None so far.
Summary
Simple to install and use. No messing with the registry and it uses it's own dll so it doesn't touch the registry either.
Middle click now makes sense
decon89April 5, 2012
Pros
Gives the options to change a lot of small interaction details in Windows 7. I really love being able to close windows with a middle click and "show desktop" by clicking the an empty space on taskbar.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Summary
Great software for small UI tweaking.
A godsend for people who appreciate efficient UI-design

Pros
One is able to adjust anything that at least I have found regarding the task bar to make it work like it did in XP (but with a lot more options, so one can choose to combine the best of both worlds - 7 and XP).
Cons
I have found none.
Summary
Don't listen to the warnings about spyware. That was an old issue (isolated false positives) and has been resolved since. I just checked the version I have installed (v3.0) on www.virustotal.com and everything is fine. I would recommend you do the same if you are unsure. Otherwise, the this nifty tool is everything I waited for for YEARS because I despise the Aero user interface. It is especially great in combination with Classic Shell - makes it possible to mod both the start menu and task bar to work just as fast (and possibly faster, if you do find that certain Aero features speed up your work flow - you don't HAVE to make everything work like it did in XP) as it used to. And because I read one review complaining about limited features... that is flat-out ridiculous. Personally, I only wanted to have back the XP-style taskbar and found it could do a lot more than that AND the developer was adding feature month after month it seemed. And remember... it's freeware! Considering how essential it is though and how I felt that this individual has made the wrongs that Microsoft's UI developers did right, I was one of the people asking for a donation option. And just a few months ago, it has finally arrived.
Full set of customization for taskbar
anonymuosDecember 17, 2011
Pros
Allows you to configure the Windows 7 taskbar as YOU want, not as Microsoft wants.
Cons
Developer doesn't listen to many feature requests and features of XP taskbar like showing number of grouped programs and combine after opening only certain number of windows of a program, are still missing. The Taskbar Inspector feels cluttered because it unnecessarily shows AppIDs and program paths.
Summary
Best tool overall to customize the taskbar.
Smart. Does properly what Microsoft has done wrongly.

Pros
Allows breaking group-bindings in taskbar. With 7TT you can move any one element really separately from others, depending on your preference and subject correlation and not software one.
Cons
Not found.
Summary
Okay product, has potential to run rampant.
Jon4374August 30, 2011
Pros
good if you need to tweak your taskbar.
Cons
It started running one night and of the eight gigs of ram i have it was using up 92% of it. My computer was at a crawl because of this program. I don't know why it did this, but I had to use the task manager to stop it; and then I uninstalled it.
Summary
It does what it's supposed to do.

There are no cons
