    Aero Peek was not showing Desktop, fixed it.


    My Aero Peek was working fine (Windows 7 Ultimate) except not showing desktop. The checkbox on the taskbar properties asking "Preview Desktop with Aero Peek" was fixed, not changing.

    So corrected it, now it's working. Just informing how I did it.

    from this I got the registry entry for Aero Peek.

    Aero Peek - Change Delay Time to Preview Desktop

    He has told to change the value or the registry Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

    Item : DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime

    But it wasn't present in my box.
    My computer's registry showed "DisablePreviewDesktop". I changed it's value from 0 to 1 in hexadecimal and it started working i.e, Aero Peek started showing desktop.
