Hello,
Welcome to Webune Web Hosting Forums
If you have a computer with windows 7 and you are here because your Aero Peek is not working maybe we can help.
what is aero peek?
Preview an open window on the desktop using Aero Peek
When you open multiple windows on the desktop, it can sometimes be a challenge to view separate windows and switch between them.
You can use Aero Peek to take a quick look at other open windows without clicking away from the window you're currently working on. Peek makes it easy for you to preview the contents of open windows and switch to the one you want.

you can Temporarily preview the desktop using Aero Peek
You can temporarily view the desktop using Peek. This can be useful for quickly viewing desktop gadgets and folders, or when you don’t want to minimize all open windows and then have to restore them.

ok, if your aero peek is not working its because your theme does not support it.
for example, i created my own theme, so aero peek was not working, to enable aero peek you need to go to this path:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization
as you can see from the picture above, i currently using an unsaved theme as my theme, so that theme does not have aero-peek enabled, you need to use one of the Aero Themes in the Aero Themes section

i think you just have to configure the theme in your folder. the folder is ready only so you have to be careful what you change, but its easy as long as you know how to change the theme yourself
