When you have many windows open in Windows 7, the Flip and Flip 3-D (also known as the Window Switcher) features provide you with two quick methods for activating the window you want to work by displaying it on the top of the others.
To use the Flip feature (see Figure 1-2), hold down Alt+Tab. Windows 7 displays panel in the middle of the desktop showing thumbnails of each open window in the order in which they were opened with the name of the window that’s currently selected. To activate a new window in the panel, press Tab as you hold down the Alt key until the thumbnail of that window is highlighted and its name appears. Then release the Alt key along with Tab to hide the panel display.
If you hold the Ctrl key down while you press the Alt and Tab key, Windows 7 opens a panel with thumbnails of all open windows, and this panel remains displayed even after you release these three keys. You can then flip through the panel by pressing the → or ← (to move forward or backward). When the thumbnail of the window you want to access is highlighted in the panel, press Enter to close the panel and display the selected window on the desktop.
To use the Flip 3D feature, hold down the Windows logo key (the key with picture of a waving flag divided into four parts, Q) and then press the Tab key. Windows 7 then displays all open windows in 3-D cascading arrangement . You can then flip through the cascading thumbnails by continuing to
the press the Tab key until the thumbnail of the window(Using phpto recovery to help you recovery your photo on windows) you want displayed is at the front of the stack. If your mouse has a center wheel, you can then flip through the 3-D stack by turning the wheel. (Turn the wheel forward to flip backward through the stack and backward to flip forward.)
As soon as you’ve brought the thumbnail of the window you want displayed on the desktop to the front of the 3-D stack, release the Windows logo key. Windows 7 then closes the cascading 3-D stack while at the same time displaying the selected window on the desktop.
If you hold the Ctrl key down while you press the Windows logo key and the Tab key, Windows 7 opens a 3-D stack of all open windows that remains displayed on your desktop even after you release these three keys. You can then flip through the 3-D stack by pressing the → or ← (to move forward and backward). When the thumbnail of the window you want to access is at the front of the stack, you can press Enter to close the stack and display its window on top of the desktop.
When all the open windows in Windows 7 are minimized as Quick Launch buttons (see “Taskbar” later in this part) on the taskbar — which happens after you click the Show the Desktop icon on the taskbar's(Use data recovery to recover your data.)shortcut menu or you press Q+D — remember that you can position the mouse pointer over each minimized button to display a thumbnail of its window. Then, when you see the image of the window you want to activate, you can position the mouse pointer on the thumbnail to temporarily display its window on the Windows 7 desktop either full screen or in its previous position and size. You can then click its Quick Launch button on the taskbar or displayed thumbnail to keep the window open on the desktop.
