all Open windows view that is tiled?

[Guest]

I stumbled accross a different way to view all open windows, and I have no
idea how I got there. I have windows XP professional, service pack 2.
Somehow, I accidently changed my view. Its kinda hard to explain....
basically, it was almost as if an active thumbnail of every window I had open
was tiled on the screen. It looked close to a slideshow preview in Microsoft
powerpoint. Each thumbnail did NOT tough the other. Three windows fit
accross the screen in the same row. The way I got out of the view was by
hitting alt-tab. Has anyone else seen this view? And do I get this view
again? I did a little research, and it is NOT "tile windows..." option.
Thanks

It sounds like you tiled the Windows. If you right click on the taskbar
you'll have the option of either Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically.

No....if you read the bottom of my post, I specifically said that it was NOT
Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically. Any other possibilities that you can
think of?

Thanks

Sorry about that, I usually catch those details. Nothing I can think of,
but this is kind of a neat replacement for ALT-TAB in XP -

Sounds like the powertoy alt-tab replacement.
