    Hmm, that's interesting, don't you mean alt + tab..?
    If not, then, could anybody give some suggestions about how windwos + tab key pops up windows live messenger

    SOLVED, the problem was, i changed windows live messenger shortcut's combaility mode to run in windows xp sp3. I changed it because i loved the way how windows live messenger goes into tray, like it was with xp..

    Win+Tab gives you Flip3D.

    I use Switcher myself.

    If you're talking about what I think you are, you need to run msnmsgr.exe in Vista Compatibility mode (so it minimises to tray, not to taskbar)

    *EDIT* Whoops, should have read it was already fixed, my bad =$
