Hello Everyone,
If you are on Windows 7 and due some update or some other issue the temporary view of the minimised windows or desktop is missing, which you normally get when you do a mouse over on the icons on your desktop then you have the issue known as Aero Peek not Working.
Actually you get to know about Aero peek if you right click -> Task Bar -> Properties, then you will know Aero Peek is the responsible module for this functionality, and if its not working then it would seems like disabled on the box just opened.
So the next step is to enable it.
Simple steps.
