    I dont have it in front of me, but it should be aero-peek

    right click on My Computer and go to Properties
    go to the tab Advanced
    Click on Settings in the Performance Section
    there should be a list of checkboxes, Uncheck the one for Aero-Peek

    Do you mean this one ringed?



    Sorry if I am missing the point but why do you want to disable it? If you don't use it why not just ignore it?

    Hi mitchell65,
    You are right . i need to disable that functionality (Rounded one).
    Iam doing a project in .net. Its client requirement. Its POS project. So user cannot access the desktop and hard drive and startmenu etc. i handled startmenu disabling and harddrives using code. so i need to disable that showdesktop .....
    Please let me know the solution.

    I dont think so as I dont use Areo and the Use Aero peek to preview etc is greyed out in my system but the icon in question is showing in my taskber. The OP may be the same.
    EDIT

    Hello Raj,

    Sorry, but you can only turn the "Desktop Preview" (Aero Peek) button on or off. It cannot be removed from the taskbar.
