I wonder how to ENABLE it in Windows Server 2008 R2 RC... I managed to turn Aero on there, but Aero Peek doesn't work, and the checkbox in Taskbar Properties is unavailable

Oh, never mind. It was disabled in System Properties, I haven't noticed it first.

the first method does NOT disable alt+tab peek and taskbar thumbnail peek!
It just disables preview desktop!
the second method ONLY works for admins!

The weird this is, I have disabled AeroPeek in the system properties, as well as in the taskbar properties. And yet, it haunts me still.
