Turn flip 3d back on

I tried this

1) Click on the Windows logo at the lower left corne

2) Select Control Panel, and then select Personalizatio

3) Click on “Window Color and Appearance

4) If you then see a row of 8 colors, you need to click on the las
link, “Open classic appearance properties for more color options

5) In the “Appearance Settings” window, under “Color Scheme,” selec
“Windows Aero

6) Click on “OK

7) Windows will then update the display properties of, well
everything

8 ) If you’ve got a “Flip and Flip” icon in the Quick Launch area o
the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, next to the Windows icon
click on it to see a neat sideways 3-D representation of all of you
open windows. OR, hold down the “Start-Tab” keys in order (where Star
is the key with the Windows logo) and then (still holding the Star
key), hit the Tab key to 3-D’ly scroll through each of the open windows
Uber-cool


But for some reason the the icon in the taskbar is only giving me th
option to "Show desktop" not flip and flip which I did have before
How do I get it back? I want to scroll through all my open window
without using 'start-tab' keys


Thank

Hello Avo,

This tutorial will show you how to create a new Flip 3D (Switch Between
Windows) shortcut and how to put it back in Quick Launch.

Thanks for the reply and the link, very handy indeed.

However!, I didn't have to use it!!! After posting yesterday I turned
the PC off, I have just turned it back on to to see if there were any
replies to my question and hey presto the flip icon is in my taskbar!
Guess it just needed a reboot to sort itself out after turning the aero
theme back on.

Thanks again ;)
