Question
Somehow I deleted the Flip 3D switch icon from the Quick Launch toolbar. I can't seem to locate the correct program to replace the icon. How do I restore the deleted shortcut?
Answer
A copy of the Flip 3D icon is present in each user profile, and also in the Default user profile. Follow these steps to restore the icon to your user account:
- Click Start, type the following and press Enter:
%systemdrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
- Right-click the Switch between windows shortcut and choose Copy (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL+C)
- Click Start, type the following and press Enter:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
- Right-click an empty area in the folder, and choose Paste (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL+V)
Alternately, you can download Flip3D.zip (contains the Windows Switcher shortcut) from here
Note: You can also invoke Flip 3D using the WinKey+TAB key sequence. For more information on Flip 3D usage, see Using Windows Flip 3D

your instructions were clear and easy to follow; however, I didn't find the shortcut that I could copy and paste. I have Vista Home Premium; is the icon supposed to be on this version? Thanks for your site; I will be doing a lot of reading here over the next couple of days, as Vista is certainly a learning curve!
