Create Taskbar icon to launch Flip3D

[lizardo_manson]

Do you like the Flip 3D feature that was introduced in Windows Vista, which lets you slip through the stack of your open windows? It's still there in Windows 7; just press CTRL+Windows logo key+TAB. (Note that you have to have Aero enabled to use Flip 3D).

 

You can also create a taskbar icon to open Flip 3D by clicking, if you don't already have one. Here's how:

• Right- click an empty spot on the desktop and select New | Shortcut
• In the "location of the item" box, type RunDll32 DwmApi #105
• In the "Name" field, type Flip 3D
• Click Finish
• Right- click on the new shortcut and select Properties
• Click the Shortcut tab, then click the Change Icon button
• In the "Look for icons in this file" field, type or browse to c:windowsexplorer.exe
• Select the Flip 3D icon (looks like a stack of windows) and click OK
• Drag the new shortcut onto the taskbar and pin it there.

Extra info: easily move between the 3D windows with the wheel of the mouse

 

Thanks to,
