Disappearing Applications in Windows in 7

[DriVer]

When working in Windows 7 and I often have to go from using the mouse to entering text using the keyboard, I would normally just cast the mouse aside and slightly down to the right. What happens is that whatever application I am using goes transparent and the desktop pops up and I find myself not being able to see what I'm doing "until" I move the mouse out of the bottom right corner of the screen. (slightly annoying)

I knew about the "Show Desktop"(SD) function (click the button to the right of the clock) however what I discovered this morning is that if you "right click" on the SD square next to the clock, just uncheck the √ "Peek at Desktop" option and this will disable the disappearing desktop.

Thanks for this info. Same thing happening here and it was annoying.

Thanks a bunch and have a great day.

You could push and hold the windows start button and then tap TAB to scroll thru and change focus on your windows - kinda neat looking. Try it
