Instantly Show The Desktop When Using The “Show Desktop” Bar In Your System Tray

Ever noticed that when you hover with the mouse over the system tray bar that shows the desktop that it will have a short delay? You can change this delay to 0!

Pro Tip: You should backup your registry first – better safe than sorry

1. Open the registry editor:

2. Enter regedit into search bar, hit Enter

3. Now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

4. In the right pane, right-click and create a new DWORD-32 bit key. Keep in mind, even if you are on a 64-bit system you have to create a 32-bit key.

5. Enter DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime as the name of they key with the value “0″ without quotes

6. If you want to test this right away, kill the process explorer.exe in your task manager via CTRL + ALT + DEL – after starting explorer.exe again you can see it works right away
