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.

Hello Raj,

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

 

[raju145in]

Hello Brink,
No need to remove. Just disable click on that show desktop button.
Please can you tell me the solution for disabling that show desktop. I read some articles regarding this. no one giving appropriate answer. is there any tool or 3rd party software to disable(Show desktop) that button.
I need it urgent.

Just read you previous thread again. I don't see that you can stop a user from accessing the desktop. What point would that serve and when you boot up a PC what would you see if not the desktop?

 

[raju145in]

Hmmm....
Direct my appliaction starts when system boot up. My application will palce in startup program .so there is no chance to user view the desktop. i just wanted to disable click on the show desktop button in taskbar. Did u get my point..

 

[mitchell65]

What you want to do can't be done IMHO. However what just might work is setting the text size to about 175% in the Custom size option. This might take the task bar below the bottom level of the screen. But then you would need to work out how to deny permission to the dedicated User account to access any personalizations. Not a very practical solution though.

I was thinking this was POS (point of sales)

Usually, POS terminals have an overlay that makes it so the user can't exit the POS window (keeping employess from doing stuff on the computer other than work)

the only way I have seen this is to run the program as full-screen

oh and disabling the alt-tab command while in the program window
