Flip 3D Shortcut


if you want a shortcut that launches the Flip 3D feature in Vista, heres how you do it:

- Right click on your desktop
- Select "New"
- Select "Shortcut"
- Type (or copy/pase) "RunDll32 DwmApi #105" into the location box
- Click "Next"
- Enter a name for your new shortcut
- Place it wheve ever you want

i find it to be usefull in the quicklaunch bar

EDIT: if you want to bind this shortcut to a key on your keyboard heres what to do:

- Right click on the shortcut
- Click "Properties"
- Click on the "Shortcut" tab
- Copy the Target of the shortcut
- Use the target of the shortcut instead of the actual location of the shortcut

i found that if you simply direct the program that binds your keys to a .exe it doesn't work, but if you use the target it works just fine

enjoy!

P.S. Mods, if you want me to stop making so many topics I can start grouping them together if you like, just let me know.

In newer builds this is automatically present on the Quick Launch toolbar So that unfortunately makes your shortcut a moot point. And there is already a keyboard command for it (Windows key + tab)

But thanks for the info

yeah, i knew there was a keyboard command for it, but just for people who only want to use one, makes it a little faster

but..bleh, oh well, maybe people with the same build that i have, or a build that doesn't have a shortcut will be able to use it

Heck, no, Tardbarn, keep those threads coming. We don't mind at all.
