| | 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. RC -- R. C.

| | 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 "R. C.

| | 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". RC -- R.
