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
