Scrolling Feature

I have seen Vista users go through folders and files in a manner much like
what one sees on an Apple MAC. There is a "3D" effects and the folders
appear in front of the desktop. Looking for the name of this feature and how
one does this. I am working with a Vista Ultimate machine.

Re: Scrolling Feature

Hi, Maurice.

Are you talking about what Microsoft calls "Flip 3-D"? If you have the
hardware and Vista version to support Aero, then there are several ways to
trigger this. Probably the easiest is to press <Start>+Tab.

If that doesn't work for you, or if it is not what you want, please post
back.

Re: Scrolling Feature

Much thanks for the timely reply. Flip 3-D is what I sought. I have a
'Windows' keyboard but regrettably, I do not know what key represents
"start". This has two keys each with the microsoft logo. I've tried a
number of combinations with no success. Continued guidance sought

Re: Scrolling Feature

Hi, Maurice.

Yes, the Windows logo key is labeled "Start" on my current keyboard
(Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard). Hold that key while pressing Tab.
Like using a Shift key to make capital letters. Or <Alt>+Tab to switch
windows. One short way to say it is to press <Win>+<Tab>. Unlike many key
combinations, though, as soon as you release the Start key, the Flip-3D
disappears. Hold down Start while you press and release Tab to make the
merry-go-round spin until you get to the window you want to use, then
release Start.

Pressing the Windows logo key alone should produce Vista's Start menu.

There are a lot of variations in keyboards! My several previous keyboards
each had two Windows logo keys, often called WinKey or just <Win>. My
current keyboard has only one and it has both a small Windows flag and the
word "Start".
