Get Windows 7 “Aero Peek” Feature in Windows XP and Vista

You might be already aware of new "Aero Peek" feature in Windows 7, if you are not aware then let us give you a little idea about it. "Aero Peek" has replaced the old "Show Desktop" feature in Windows 7. It can be found as a small rectangle present at last in Windows 7 taskbar. When you hover the mouse cursor over it, it allows you to peek behind all open windows by hiding all windows and showing only outlines of all windows.

Now you can enjoy the same feature in Windows XP and Vista. Our friend "GeeQ" has created a small application which can bring "Aero Peek" feature to Windows XP and Vista.

You can download it using following link:

Download Aero Peek Utility

Install and run it. Click on its system tray icon and Desktop Preview will be enabled. Click on the icon twice to disable it.
