In Vista it was easy to flip around from program to program. It would simply go to the last open page of that software.

So if I flicked from Word to Explorer, that was easy. Even if there were many pages open, the last one opened was on top.

But with 7 it seems that this no longer works.

I have to go to the Word icon in the Toolbar and then choose which page I want - which is a pain, as I want the last one I was on.

Can anyone help with this?



Thanks

T

Hi T,

You can still switch between open programs windows in Windows 7 by using Alt+Tab or Win+Tab (Aero Flip 3D).

Yeah, thanks

In Vista it just goes to the last page or folder you were working on.

But in 7, I had to keep choosing which page to open.


Thanks!

Click to expand...

Windows Flip (also known as 'Task Switcher') cycles through open windows, not programs - you can always access your most recently used window by pressing Alt+Tab once. The following windows appear in decreasing order of recentness, and can be accessed by continually pressing Tab while holding Alt.

Are we talking about the same thing? I apologize if I've misunderstood you.

Sure, did my explanation clear up the matter? Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

window flip - task switcher I noticed windows explorer doing something similar
when I press the back arrow it goes to the last open folder that I was working on.

I think this is a valid meme but I still miss the explorer up arrow
