I do not have the tab button on the task bar to operate the aero part of the
computer. My graphic card rating according to windows is 5.9. I can run aero
if a press tab,ctrl and the windows button and it work fine but i believe
there should be a tab button on the taskbar ??????

The "Switch between Windows" button on the Quick Launch toolbar is enabled
by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch directory. If
this file is missing, the icon will not appear in the Quick Launch Toolbar.

You are probably missing this file, and need to replace it.

You can get a copy of the original file here:

"C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

This location is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

To put it on your own Quick launch toolbar, go to a command prompt and enter
these commands (replace "<user>" with your real user name, of course! :) -

C:\>cd C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch>copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

You should see a message "1 file(s) copied." when the file is successfully
copied. Then type "exit" to leave the command prompt.

The "Switch between Windows" icon should now re-appear in your Quick launch
menu.

Hope it helps,
