Windows Vista has that feature build in that lets you flip through all the open Windows by pressing Alt + Tab. This feature is called Windows Flip in Windows Vista and is available in all editions of Vista except Home Basic.
Win Flip is a software for Windows XP that rebuilds this function making it available in XP as well. Instead of accessing the feature by pressing Alt + Tab (update: it is also Windows + Tab in Vista) users press Windows + Tab instead. The only difference from what I can tell is that videos that are currently playing stop for as long as the user is pressing those keys on the keyboard.
Win Flip uses a surprisingly small amount of memory. Another nice feature of Win Flip are mouse gestures which make it possible to access the ‘flipping mode’ by drawing a circle with your mouse. Users can then navigate the open windows with the mouse wheel. A click with the mouse activates the window in front.

Thanks! I’ve been searching for this kind of thing ever since Vista came out.
Awesome program, Martin! Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you’d post a program like this sometime.

Thanks, that’s a nifty little program worth checking out. I do like like some of the new graphics that Vista provides and it’s nice to be able to port some of it over to XP which is still my main OS of choice.
I try to download this file on Friday, December 7th 2007, but my computer say “could not connect to remote server” but I still connect to this site. I do not know why, but may be u can give me any suggest another links to get this software, coz I really want this software.
thanks
I don’t like WinFlip. Neither do I like TopDesk. One day I think I should port the actual Flip 3D to Vista Home Basic, Vista Starter, and XP SP3.
