Windows 7: Mac style window cascade

On mac's I find the most useful feature is being able to press the middle buttons of the mouse and see all the windows and be able to select them straight away, however on windows 7 one of the features I like is being able to have all you windows open shown side by side, however what i'd like to know is there a shortcut for this, or could I assign it to my center mouse button?

Hi Tim,

You can just right click on the taskbar and check side by side, stacked or cascade.
This is what you're talking about?

Hello Tim and Welcome to the Seven Forums

I think what you are describing is the Exposé feature

There is a 3rd party add- on for Vista that claims to provide this functionallity

Available Here ...

Have not tried this but may also work in Windows 7

I personally use an add-on for Flip3D which is M$ version of Exposé which allows Hot corner or mouse activation of Flip3D ( I personally do not use the mouse activation but it does work, I find I need all the mouse buttons for other purposes)

The Add-on is Available here ...

The Windows Vista Flip 3D Activator

I have used the Expose for Vista in the past, was kind of buggy for me.

I never heard of 3d Flip activator, but installed it and I like it. Has anyone had problems with the 3d activator in the past?

Hi Iknewitwin7

I've been using Flip3D Activator for a few weeks now on both Vista and various flavours of Windows 7, (including 6801 x64), without any issues.

Only issue I've heard of with it is when someone set it to operate on a Left Mouse Button, and couldn't do anything that needed a left click , so you have to be careful when assigning Mouse buttons

Other than that it's all good

I use the top left corner "Hotspot" and find that wherever my mouse is I can switch windows quickly either using the task bar or Flip3D,

It's also great for showing off when someone's watching you

Now I wonder; who could've done such a silly thing as that?...

Hello Ted

As far as I Know it's an apocryphal story - just quoted to highlight the dangers

Good answer! Hehehe.

Don't make the 3d flap be the middle button on your mouse. Can't throw nades in COD

Nigel, why does Process Explorer say it's listening?
