Switch Between Windows Icon

Guest

Down in my quicklaunch by the "Start" button (running Vista Businses) I have
a new icon, switch between windows. It's pretty cool and allows me to use my
scroll mouse to flip betwen windows in a nice 3D format.

My question is, is there a HOTKEY assigned to this? If so what? I'd rather
not have to start it using that icon all the time.

Winkey + TAB

Also, besides the answers you've gotten (Winkey + tab), also try this. If
the icon is the second one from the left, try winkey + 2. That is, hold down
the winkey and press the number two on the numerical keys atop your qwerty
keyboard. The advantage to this method is that you can let up on the keys
and the windows still stay on your screen and you can scroll through them
using the mouse wheel. With the winkey/tab method, it jumps to the front
window when you let up on the keys. So it all depends on which one you
prefer.
Two notes:
1) the numerical key you press in conjunction with winkey depends on the
position of the icon in relation to the start button. If it's the first one
to the left of it, you would press winkey +1. If it's the ninth one to the
left of it, you'd press winkey + 9. (and yes, you can open everything else
on your quicklaunch bar by using the winkey and the number corresponding to
its position on the bar).
2) So far, for me, this has only worked by using the numerical keys along
the top of the keyboard. For some reason, it has not worked with the
calculator keypad on the right side of full keyboards. I've tried this with
a couple of keyboards now.
