Peek a Boo – I See You

When you open multiple windows on the desktop, sometimes it can be a challenge to view separate windows and switch between them. Using the Windows 7 Aero Peek feature you can quickly preview the desktop without minimizing all your windows or preview an open window by pointing at its button on the taskbar.

Point to the new Windows 7; click the Show desktop button at the right end of the taskbar. The open windows fade from view, revealing the desktop. Click it again and the windows return.

In Windows 7 use any program Taskbar button to take a quick look at other open windows without clicking away from the window you are currently working on.
