Desktop Enhancements
One of the many bene ts of Windows is the ability to work with large numbers of documents and
programs at the same time. But have you ever had to wade through a dozen open windows to get to the
right document? Or had to minimize a number of windows to view a gadget on your desktop? Or do you
often line up two windows so that you can easily compare their contents?
With desktop enhancements in Windows 7, working with multiple windows on your desktop is easier than
ever. For instance, you can use Aero Peek to get a quick look at your desktop. Simply hover your cursor
over the far-right side of the taskbar and all your open windows will become transparent. You can also
peek at a speci c window to see exactly where it is by either using the live thumbnail previews or by using
Windows Flip (ALT + TAB) to quickly cycle through running windows. Pausing on a thumbnail will bring
the highlighted window into full size view.
Place your cursor on the right side of
the taskbar to peek at your desktop.
Pause on a thumbnail using Windows
Flip to bring a window into focus.
