Switch between windows - tablet friendly

[Frank]

Windows 7 has a nice feature, called Switch Between Windows

It can be especially useful for us tablet users.
Normally you activate it with the key combination Win+Tab, but you can also open this tool with a shortcut or you can even pin this program to your taskbar, so just one click away
To see how, read this post.
Just download the zip file containing the shortcut and pin it to your taskbar:
How to Create a Flip 3D Switch Between Windows Shortcut in Windows 7

I had no use for my second pen button, so I assigned this switcher to it.
Sadly I wasn't able to assign it directly in the Wacom properties, because it needs the proper attributes to start.

So I created a small VBScript, which opens this 3D windows switcher and which I can assign to the second pen button, if someone also wants to do this, then just create a new textfile, copy the following lines in it

Dim shell

    Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    shell.Run Chr(34) & "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" & Chr(34) & "DwmApi #105", 1, false
    Set shell = Nothing

and rename the text file to something like 3Dswitcher.vbs
Just make sure that the new file ending is vbs and not txt.

Or just download the script here:
3Dswitcher.zip

Store the file somewhere and assign it to the pen button in the Wacom properties and you have an excellent way to switch between windows.

I did the shortcut for Flip3D but I found it annoying to switch between windows in Flip3D, that is why I never used in all my years of having Vista.

I installed "Switcher" which is a Mac Expose clone and it does a much better job: http://insentient.net/

There are a few ways you can activate it, unfortunately my passive display cannot properly detect when I want to activate it by pressing a corner of my screen, so I have to use the system tray icon.
