I accidentialy deleated the "Windows Flip 3d" icon from my quick launch icons. Can anyone tell me how to restore it. I Have tried the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" but cant find it ??
okay dumbass american, I asked to restore the feature to the quick launch menu and you clearly have not answered this question as well as taking 2 months to come u.p with a reply. You really do fit the steriotypes
could someone please help me, this doesnt work for me? when i press windows on it's own it works but when i press windows and tab it just scroll's through the stuff like when u just press tab on its own? it doesnt work for me?
MacTipper, there has been since 2003. It's called Exposé, and Microsoft obviously stole the idea for Flip 3D from Exposé as they do a lot of their features for Windows.
First of all, expose shows me all my windows at once. This is too slow. I want something where I can see each window as I flip through them. (Kinda like Cmd-Tab for windows.)
The closest thing we have is "Switch to Next Active Window". I don't know what the default shortcut is, but it's in System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.
This is cool but not usefull at all. Think for a second, if i had maybe 30 windows or 40 i would have to keep fliping through all of them to get to the one i want and I use alot of windows
don't forget if you have like 30 windows, u prolly would just flip through them. Personally i use the mouse wheel which is a lot faster and than CLICK on the window i want instead of flipping it to the front which takes longer. With combination of the mouse wheel (or the scroll thingy on a touchpad) and CLICKING the window, I can swictch between programs in less than a second even with 20 windows open.
I have windows vista home premium and every time I press the switch between windows a little blue box shows up and every time I press start+tab keys nothing happens!!! I just cant get the 3d flip!!! please drop a line!!
do you have areo or are you running vista standard? btw it's available on home premium not home basic. i like it if i'm using 4 windows but alt-shift-tab is easier
I tired to do this i have Windows Vista Home Premium Upgarde on my DELL XPS M-140 labtop and it does not work for some reason. Only thing that comes up for me is that little window that you had come up in the end of the vid.
Too all you mac fanboys: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" so stfu and leave it at that. I heard Vista is a RAM eater? Anyone care to shed any light on this?
To nanofiggis: "He who imitates what is evil always goes beyond the example that is set; on the contrary, he who imitates what is good always falls short."
Windows Vista is teh shit tbh.. Well it looks good, but you can have all the same if you got a Mac.. I totally agree with most people here, that it's just a poor copy of Mac OSX
I don't understand how Microsoft is allowed to continue to flagrantly copy MacOS innovations year after year. I though we had laws against this type of crap.
thats about 5 years old.. Mac OSX was doing that, and more..back in 2001. microsoft can no longer make anything of their own. all they do is make crappy versions of what apple makes. as we saw with the zune.
The last thing to impress me as far as user interfaces go was the ps3 photo slideshow feature. For an OS, I don't really care. Just give me a decent way to get to my apps and don't hang up on background tasks. OS debates are silly.
I dont really care for the new vista flip. It just looks cool at best. I am a huge multitasker and it just doesnt keep up with me. Apple does there's better to be honest.
Retard, Mac stole from Xerox, and Microsoft stole from Mac. Any REAL computer person knows Microsoft is better in every way, Macs only don't get the viruses because its such a minority who use them.
apple was given full reign to look at what xerox was doing and received the gui from them.bill gates later worked at apple and out and out,stole it from apple,without asking!big differance!!!
ok-what is your source for what happened .mine are many books i have read about it and that movie.don't you think major lawsuits would have ensued if it was slanderous?
correction RETARD Apple didn't steal from Xerox. Unless you consider buying... stealing. which I think are OPPOSITES. Steve Jobs capitalized on a great oppurtunity he saw before him. However... Microsoft did steal from Apple. thats about the only true statement you made. personally im not on either side. i just think ur a dumbass.
Expose is better, at least way more practicle. Flip 3D looks nice but then when it comes down to the important stuff such as ease of use, dragging files easily, quicly going to the desktop, and much more you will see that expose is a much better solution.
Useless shit.

Do it with Winkey-Tab. (Like Alt-Tab, just with the windows key.)
Does anybody know of something like this for mac where you can switch between all your windows?
MacTipper 3 years ago
Yeah it's called Exposé. Macs have had this feature for years now and its much easier to control then Flip 3D.

How is flipping through your windows one by one faster than looking at all of the windows at once?
Imagine if you had 30 windows open. You'd be flipping for a long time to find that one you want.
Plus with the Active Corners. I never even have to touch the keyboard to find what I'm looking for.
hawaiianchimp 3 years ago
Because I can't see what's exactly in my window. So, if I'm looking for a text document among my 10 other text documents, it will take a while.
Where as, I can hit Cmd-Option-` to switch between them rather quickly.
Also, I prefer the keyboard over the mouse. Expose is GREAT for mouse users, but it's only okay for keyboard junkies such as myself.
