    Hey All,

    I love the new Flip 3D offered with WIndows Vista, But I'd like to be able to function it with the standard Alt+tab, instead of Windows-key+Tab.

    Is there any Reg Hack, or setting that would allow me to accomplish this?


    Thanks all,

    -TheChad

    Hack? I'm not sure. However using AutoHotKey, I changed it to Ctrl+Tab in XP for kicks. If that interpreted language can be compiled correctly to run on Vista (which shouldn't be a problem) it should work.

    There may be easier ways, though.

    Edit: Ok finished with the quick fix. Try this: http://storeandserve.com/download/751577/Alt-Tab_Fix.exe.html

    To test it, run the file and press Alt + Tab. If it works, you'll need to put a shortcut to the EXE file in your startup folder if you want it to automatically run when you start your computer.
