Manually Disabling SevenBeans
Open file:
C:\Users\<user name>\.netbeans\6.9\config\Modules\com-strixcode-sevenbeans.xml
Replace the line: <param name="enabled">true</param>
With: <param name="enabled">false</param>
Jump List
You can now pin the NetBeans IDE to the taskbar and the start menu. Quickly access your recent projects and pin the favorite ones. Save time by creating new projects or files directly from the jump list.
Icon Overlays
Important NetBeans status is always visible on the taskbar button. A small overlay informs you that your project is running or a build task is in progress. Other notifications are displayed too.
Progress Bar
Easily monitor progress of a build process, an IDE update or any other long running operation. Switch back to NetBeans when it is ready.
Tabbed Thumbnails
SevenBeans creates a thumbnail for every open document exactly like Internet Explorer does for open websites. You can quickly preview tabs and switch directly to a particular document.
This feature is disabled by default. You can enable it in the Options window.
Configurable
You can choose which features to enable or disable. Invoke the Tools | Options menu, then click the Miscellaneous button and finally the Taskbar Button tab.
