Restoring a Piece of Windows Nostalgia
In a world where every new operating system seems to strip away a beloved legacy feature, the return of Aero Peek to Windows 11 via a third-party mod stands out as a welcome blast from the past. For those who fondly remember the slick transparency and quick...
Hi All,
I no longer have "Aero Peek" available, any ideas?
Asus/ATI 3450 AGP card, far from fancy but it does the job.

This is a company PC with desktop settings like Windows XP I used to for a few years. I explored the options and changed the desktop background when some of the settings changed that I'd like to revert back.
1. The menu bar becomes gray and with bigger height than it was before. I like the old...

I just noticed that when I put my cursor over a thumbnail, I get a little bar that says the name of the program instead of the Aero peek preview. I made sure Aero Peek was enabled. What's wrong?
The trouble I am having is with programs not opening to the desktop. For instance if I make a sticky note it will disappear from the desktop. The icon for the sticky note is on the task bar and when I hover over it a mini page displays but when I click on the mini page it doesn't appear on...
