    Hi,

    I remember accidentally opening some transparent window that had a quick access to all the parts on my XPS m1530 and I believe it had the name Dell in the titlebar, and it looked different than the Microsoft one (welcome window or whatever). It was done by shortcut, but I don't remember what I pressed.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about and what the shortcut is?

    Thanks! :D

    Almost, except the window is totally transparent except for the icons. It has no navbar or much of any branding from what I remember. Just a bunch of icons for the stuff on the notebook, so yeah, kinda like a launcher. I suppose it could be Windows own launcher with Dell's name appended like the Internet Explorer that comes with our notebook and how they added "by Dell" to it.

    Thanks though :)

    I actually found it now. It is Windows Mobility Center (Win + X).
    It actually has the Dell branding within the window but not on the titlebar like I thought.

    Thanks for your help fonduekid! +rep
