How To: Get Back Flip 3D shortcut In Windows 7 Taskbar
Posted January 17, 2009 – 12:44 pm in: Windows 7, Windows 7 GuidesEarlier this week, I showed you how to get back the missing Quick Launch bar in Windows 7 BETA. Though Quick Launch Toolbar is handy to use, it actually kills the fancy look of Windows 7’s Superbar.
As you can pin any programs to Taskbar in Windows 7, you might don’t want to enable the Quick Launch bar, but you might want to use the shortcut of Flip 3D. Creating a new Flip-3D shortcut is easy if you follow the below procedure.
1. Right-click on Desktop, select New and then Shortcut.
2. In the New Shortcut Wizard, type the below path as location:
RunDll32 DwmApi #105
3. Click next, assign name as Flip-3D.
4. Lastly, click on Finish button.
5. Once you click Finish, a new icon will appear on the Desktop.
6. You can stop here if you don’t like to change the look of the icon.
7. To get the default Flip-3D icon, right-click on the new Flip-3D icon and select Properties.
8. Under the Shortcut tab, open Change Icon.
9. In the location box, type C:\windows\explorer.exe and click OK to get new icons.
10. Select Flip-3D icon from the available icons and click OK and then Apply.
11. Now you can right-click on the icon and select Pin to taskbar to access the icon directly from the Superbar (Taskbar).
