Vista - Tweaking my OS

alright so i rebooted my computer a lil while ago, and offcourse it lost a few things i liked about it, any help on how to restore them? first, when i highlight over a minimized windows, i want to view a small miniture window that lets me see the minimized window in my toolbar down below. second, the "switch between windows" button in my taskbar used to pop out all the windows that are up and i would click on a window and it would maximize it, but now, it just shows a few icons, how can i restore it so looks like it did before

DONT TELL ME SYSTEM RESTORE, im tired of hearing it lol, everywhere i ask, they tell me "system restore" i dumped my computer, i dont have any saved system restore saves

thank you

PS since when did the definition of "reboot" change...restart and reboot are not the same thing, i dont know why people are so hung up on it
