Hack 1: Speed Up Aero Peek

A quick tweak to speed up Aero Peek. (Click for larger image.) Windows 7's Aero
Peek lets you see the desktop when you move your mouse cursor over to the "show
desktop" button at the end of the taskbar. The standard delay time for the Aero
Peek preview is 500 milliseconds, or half a second. Here's how to speed it up:
1. Open the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft >
Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advanced.
2. Right-click on the right pane and click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the
new DWORD "DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime."
3. Double-click on DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime to open it. Under "Base," click D
ecimal and then enter the delay time (in milliseconds) in the "Value data" field
. Click OK, and your Aero Peek time will be set. You can set the value to higher
(a longer delay time) if you're activating it too often by accident, or to lowe
r (a shorter delay time) if half a second is just too long.
4. Log off and log back on for the change to take effect.
Hack 2: Speed Up Taskbar Previews
You can speed up (or slow down) taskbar previews here. (Click for larger image.)
When you roll over taskbar icons in Windows Vista and in Windows 7, little previ
ews appear. The standard delay time for these previews is 400 milliseconds, or j
ust under half a second. If this is too slow (or too fast) for you, you can adju
st the delay time with an easy Registry hack.
1. Open the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft >
Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advanced.
2. Right-click on the right pane and click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the
new DWORD "ExtendedUIHoverTime."
3. Double-click on ExtendedUIHoverTime to open it. Under "Base," click Decimal a
nd then enter in the delay time (in milliseconds) in the "Value data" field. Cli
ck OK to set the time (default is 400 milliseconds).
4. Log off and then log back in for the change to take effect.
