In the earlier versions of Windows, an option named ‘Show Desktop’ which allows you to view only the desktop by minimizing all the other windows on clicking on it and again makes it in the previous form by clicking on it once again. In Windows 7, the old ‘Show Desktop’ option has been replaced by a new feature called ‘Aero Peek’. The ‘Aero Peek’ is a small rectangular icon present at last in the taskbar. When you move the cursor over the Aero Peek button, you can view all open windows in a secret way(Peek). This is done by hiding all the windows and showing only the outlines of all windows. But the ‘Aero Peek’ feature uses a lot of memory and so for speeding up Windows 7 or if you are in the habit of not using the ‘Aero Peek’ feature, you can disable the ‘Aero Peek’ feature. For disabling the ‘Aero Peek’ feature in Windows 7, just follow the steps given below.
1. Right-click on the Taskbar.
2. From the context menu select ‘Properties’.
3. In the ‘Taskbar’ tab, clear the ‘Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop’ checkbox.
4. Click on ‘Apply’ and then on ‘OK’ to save the changes.
Now, the ‘Aero Peek’ feature in your Windows 7 will be disabled.
