    Anyone else having trouble using Peek to preview the desktop?


    I have it enabled. But sometimes I have to move my mouse to the far right of the taskbar several times before it finally works. It's irritating. I don't understand why Microsoft didn't at least give us the option to put a Peek button on the taskbar like Windows 7 has.

    It seems to work now...while having the difficulty two weeks ago i deleted cookies and still had issue...this time i deleted cookies then went into IE temp folder and cleaned it out.



    I use the same passport ID for hotmail, technet, MSDN / Partner, IM and forums...i often run into an issue if i login to one MS site then use the same browser session to move to another MS site..even tho they are all Microsoft sites the credentials have
    trouble following me.



    Thanks for the post...i can finally download to my tilt (tho the new iPhone looks hot).

    Hmmm. I've no problem to DL. Let's try this. This is the EULA and download page to "Green Droplets" theme:



    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/eula_lymadesign_1033.mspx?ProductID=333



    Log off/login to the site and see if you can get to the page and download. Just curious if you have access to another computer to try. Or you might have a different browser installed, e.g. AOL or Firefox. If it is specific to your computer, I'd say your
    login info might be corrupt and delete cookies from IE. Plus, your post replicated here and it is the same Live login. I know it is a pain if you autologin to other sites. But I don't think it is a site issue. I didn't have to delete cookies, though, after
    all those site issues that week. Surprisingly, I've only read an isolated post where a moderator admitted to some "site difficulties".



    If this works, and you only want a specific theme, and don't want to delete cookies, let me know which one you want and I can provide the link(s).

    Anyone else having trouble using Peek to preview the desktop?

    It takes a second of two for it to take effect on my system. If it doesn't then left click while there also works for me.

    "Microsoft didn't at least give us the option to put a Peek button on the taskbar like Windows 7 has."

    Hi, there is one on mine- a tiny rectangle at the RH end.. is yours missing?
    (Control of Peek is Rt click on taskbar, Properties, Taskbar, and there's a check box on that properties sheet)

    My Peek is very quick- and my laptop came with Vista originally...

    Note: This article provides a way to show/hide the button, and even alter its width using 7+ taskbar tweaker (which is compatible with Win 10). I have it on mine, really to add volume control with a scroll wheel when my mouse is over the notification area.
