Mr cairo,
you're welcome.

Click Start button, and copy and paste this (below) line on to the Start Search and hit Enter, see if you can get to another shortcut.

Switch between windows

nah that didnt work but a quick browse on the new found me this

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

3. Right-click in a blank area of this folder
4. Select New and then Shortcut from the context menu
5. For the location textbox, input the following:

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe dwmapi #105

6. Click the Next button
7. Name it. (Flip3D, for example)
8. Click Finish

The shortcut will now be in your quick launch toolbar.

cheers though

Nice looking feature, but not really useful in practice.

However, a very useful shortcut I've found is the windows key + number, where the number corresponds to a shortcut on the quick launch bar, causing that program to open.

If you have a Logitech mouse with the Document Flip button,

it will function the same as the Flip 3D icon.
