<P> The notification area has been redesigned; the standard Volume, Network, Power and Action Center status icons are present, but no other application icons are shown unless the user has chosen them to be shown . A new "Notification Area Icons" control panel has been added which replaces the "Customize Notification Icons" dialog box in the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window first introduced in Windows XP . In addition to being able to configure whether the application icons are shown, the ability to hide each application's notification balloons has been added . The user can then view the notifications at a later time . </P> <P> A triangle to the left of the visible notification icons displays the hidden notification icons . Unlike Windows Vista and Windows XP, the hidden icons are displayed in a window above the taskbar, instead of on the taskbar . Icons can be dragged between this window and the notification area . </P> <P> In previous versions of Windows, the taskbar ended with the notification area on the right - hand side . Windows 7, however, introduces a show desktop button on the far right side of the taskbar which can initiate an Aero Peek feature that makes all open windows translucent when hovered over by a mouse cursor . Clicking this button shows the desktop, and clicking it again brings all windows to focus . The new button replaces the show desktop shortcut located in the Quick Launch toolbar in previous versions of Windows . </P> <P> On touch - based devices, Aero Peek can be initiated by pressing and holding the show desktop button; touching the button itself shows the desktop . The button also increases in width to accommodate being pressed by a finger . </P>
