Win7 Hyun Stunt: View files with Aero Flip 3D

Microsoft introduced the Aero Flip 3D when developing Vista. With Windows Flip 3D, you can quickly preview all open windows (for example, open files, folders, and documents) without having to click on the taskbar.

Flip 3D displays an open window in a "stack". At the top of the stack, you will see an open window. To see other windows, you can browse the stack. The Windows 7 system still uses this feature (the Home Basic does not support it).

Windows 7 Aero Flip 3D

To start Flip 3D, just press the Windows+Tab combination hotkey, you can also use this key combination to rotate the stack; Flip 3D can help you to file Combined queuing. View the file and release the Windows key.

The Windows 7 system also provides another way to view files. Press the Alt+Tab key combination and you will see a different arrangement than Flip 3D. It is presented as a file thumbnail.

Alt+Tab Hotkeys

Under Windows XP, press the Alt+Tab key combination and you will see the file icon instead of the thumbnail. Both of these ways of viewing files are very dazzling, and you can switch between them in Windows 7 system.

Note: Flip 3D is part of the Windows Aero experience. If your computer does not support Aero, or if you are using a non-Windows Aero color scheme, you can view your computer's open programs and windows by pressing Alt+Tab. To cycle through the open windows, press the Tab key, then the arrow keys, or use the mouse to select.

If you think that the Alt+Tab combination method is too traditional, then the way Flip 3D views files is very dazzling. It is recommended to try. The only thing to note is whether your hardware supports Aero effects.
