[AlexRD]

Hi, There is an Aero Peek that when you leave your mouse hovering on a Bar ( Firefox for Example ) a small Aero Peek Window appear. How do i remove it? Here goes an Attachment:

Choose non aero theme...

 

[Antman]

You can Aero without Aero Peek

Funny, for me Aero Peek still works after I turn it off that way...

 

[Antman]

Try this

That is because this is Thumbnail Previews..NOT AERO PEEK...Aero Peek is the rectangle beside the clock that peeks at the desktop

I wouldn't know this myself if I didn't study Aero extensively...I absolutely love this rendering system by Microsoft

That is different story...
But to be honest, I never played with that because I love it as it is...

This is what the OP was wanting to get rid off...are you wanting to remove something else?

I would use Aero (perhaps) if not for the transparent title bar. How would I adjust that? Set Aero peek? Seriously, I would give it another run - your thoughts...

Not me...
I love Win 7 just the way it is.

Just turn transparency off period is my suggestion

Personalize->Window Color->Un-check Enable Transparency

Tell me what you think?

EDIT: To see this you need to switch to an Aero theme first

Ok, so i disabled the Taskbar Thumbnails Preview and i still have that preview. Do i have to reboot? Thanks, Alex.

 

[AlexRD]

Okay, i rebooted and still nothing has changed for me. That preview is still there. What can i do?

I think you don't like Aero Peek/Thumbnail preview because it is too slow to come up. I found this a problem so the kind folds of sevenforums told me to follow this guide to make it much quicker:

Ok I did some research and with the RC and above things apparently changed...

So I came up with a "dirty" fix

Open up regedit...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Make a new DWORD called ExtendedUIHoverTime and set it to 20000

This above doesn't disable the feature because there is no known way to do so...What it does is make it take 20 seconds from the time you hover a mouse on the button for to to display the thumbnail...hope it helps!
