No matter what box I untick I am unable to stop Aero Peak from rearing it's ugly head.Been on Google and followed tips from such as Geek and others but the offending item sticks like the proverbial to a blanket.
Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. Untick the box. But you say that this doesn't work? Have you rebooted after clearing the box?
And/or :
Start button> right click computer > Properties > Advanced System settings (on left) > Performance Settings > Visual Effects > uncheck aero peek
Yep,did that and the bugger still there.
Hello Den,
In addition, double check all options in the tutorial below to see if it may help to turn off Aero Peek.
Aero Peek - Turn On or Off
Hope this helps, :)

I don`t think you can get rid of that little rectangle down there. But I just unchecked the box, and sure enuf aero peek no longer works.
Are you certain you have " Use aero peek to preview the desktop" unchecked ?
And I use it so I`m turning it back on. Get back on you little checkmark.
Tried everything that has been proposed and even downloaded the above suggestion,all to no effect.
Den,
If you are wanting to get rid of the "Show Desktop" button on the taskbar like below, then you really can't remove it. There are some options out there that can hide it, but they do not work very well and have side effects.
Thanks to you all for trying to help but as the awkward little sod refuses to budge whatever I try I have decided to leave well alone and just ignore it.
So, you`re still saying, that no matter what you do, when you move your mouse arrow on top of the rectangle in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, you are shown the desktop when you have a window open full screen ?
Is that exactly what`s happening, and it just won`t stop ?
And you`ve run sfc /scannow and it shows no integrity errors ?
You keep saying IT "refuses to budge" what exactly do you mean by it ?
I know aero peek can really be annoying, and if it bothers you that much, a simple reinstall of windows will fix the problem. Just something to consider.
I`m just baffled how you can uncheck it, but yet it still functions.
