In Windows 7, placing the mouse over lower-right corner of the screen makes all of your open windows transparent. That is, when you place the mouse cursor over the small rectangle at the extreme right of the Superbar (Taskbar) makes all of your open windows transparent. However, you can also use Windows and “D” key shortcut as an alternative to this.

If you don’t like to use Windows Desktop Preview, then you can disable to save some additional system resources. You can always turn off Windows Desktop Preview feature by following the below steps:

1. Right click on Taskbar and select Properties.

2.  Under Taskbar properties, uncheck the option labeled “Use Desktop Preview” and click Apply.

3. Now you have disabled the Windows Desktop Preview feature. You can always enable the option by reversing the second step.

Note: You can also turn off Desktop Preview by right-clicking on the small rectangle on the extreme right of the Taskbar and then by deselecting Preview Desktop option.
