Win7 view files with Aero Flip 3D

When Microsoft developed Vista, it introduced the Aero flip and used Windows flip to quickly preview all open windows (for example, open files, folders, and documents) without having to click 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. This feature is still used by Windows 7 systems (not supported by the Home normal edition).

To start the flip, you just press the Windows+tab combination hotkey, and you can rotate the stack through the key combination; Flip 3D can help you line up the file mix. To view the file, release the Windows key.

The Windows 7 system also provides another way to view the file, pressing the ALT + TAB key combination and you will see a different arrangement than the flip 3D. It is rendered as a file thumbnail.

Under Windows XP, you can see the file icon, not the thumbnail, by pressing the ALT + TAB key combination. Both of these view files are very cool and can be viewed freely in Windows 7 systems.

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

If you think the ALT + TAB combination is too traditional, flip 3D looks at the file in a very dazzling way and suggests trying. The only thing to be aware of is whether your hardware supports aero effects.
