Most desktop gadgets already have a way to bring them on top of the screen. Yahoo, for instance, has the overhead mode (F10?). Windows Sidebar also has some hotkey, I forget which. Even BlackBox widgets/plugins can be displayed on top at the press of a hotkey. I suggest Microsoft and other developers stop wasting their time with useless features like this.

WTF is the purpose of this tool? basically its the "show desktop" feature from previous windows versions, but instead of minimizinng the windows, it makes them all see-through... idk if it's just me and a couple others thinking this, but this tool doesn't do anything useful AT ALL.. what scenario are you ever gonna be in to use it? (ex: "dude, look at my desktop background" **clicks aero peek**) that seems to be its only purpose. at least the "show desktop feature has a purpose; it minimizes everything, and from there you can choose a select number of corresponding windows to bring back up.... i find it useful sometimes anyway... but this aero peek thing doesn't serve any purpose other than to make things see-through! its just a waste of space!! hopefully too many people don't get caught up with this "awesome" new feature.... *sigh* -.- i don’t get it either deXter… WTF is the purpose of this tool? basically its the “show desktop” feature from previous windows versions, but instead of minimizinng the windows, it makes them all see-through… idk if it’s just me and a couple others thinking this, but this tool doesn’t do anything useful AT ALL.. what scenario are you ever gonna be in to use it?

[Windows D] requires Internet Explorer shell update. On Windows 98, an application can force the WorkerA class to the background by e.g. some complex task of creating, focusing, messaging and destroying a main window in a new thread, while this does not work on Windows XP. Think such a little tool should be easy enough to be made in assembly or at least some language not requiring .net Framework.
