I'm looking for "switch between windows" in windows 8.1

I use Windows Vista for some time and will now to start using windows 8.1, I am looking for the small icon that tile your windows diagonally in Vista. It is located on the taskbar next to the show desktop icon. I will try to attach an image of the icon.

Is this possible in 8.1?

Thanks for any help :)

You can.  There are also a few additional options that you can use also.  In Windows 8, you can point to the top left corner of the screen to see your latest app (click to go to him).  If you want a list of all applications you have used recently, drag the pointer down to the corner and complete is displayed in the view.

If you want the old style back, here's how: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/10135-window-switcher-shortcut-create-windows-8-a.html

  • lost the "switch between windows" button on the Quick Launch toolbar

    Hi, I lost the "switch between windows" button of the toolbar quick launch, how can I restore it?

    • You have problems with programs

    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Dasepo salvation,

    Here are the instructions for the program shortcut "switch between windows" returned the fell on the Quick Launch toolbar:

    First of all, make sure you that you must show hidden files and folders active. Here's how:

    Go to: Start/Control Panel folder Options/configuration and select the 'view' tab select "Show hidden folders and files under the section files and folders hidden from advanced settings".

    Then you can get the file from quicklaunch default section. This location of file is here:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    You can paste this link into the search bar (Ctrl-Esc). When you get to this place, you will find the 'switch between client.lnk' which you can then drag directly to the Windows Orb and it going bust in the Quick Launch bar.

    Hope this helps,

  • Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • Lack the "Switch between Windows" button in my Quick Launch toolbar

    From: Daz 150969

    I don't have the button tab in the taskbar in order to operate the Aero of the computer part. My card under windows is 5.9. I can run aero if one press tab, ctrl and windows key and it work very well, but I think that there should be a button on the tab in the taskbar?

    From: Andrew McLaren

    The "Switch between Windows" button in the toolbar quick launch is enabled by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch folder. If this file is missing, the icon does not appear in the Quick Launch toolbar.

    You are probably missing this file and need to replace it.

    You can get a copy of the original file here:

    "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

    This place is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

    To put it on your own toolbar quick launch, go to a command prompt and enter these commands (replace "" with your real username, of course!  :-) -

    C:\>CD C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    C:\Users\launch \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick > copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk.

    You should see a "1 file (s) copied" message when the file is copied successfully. Then type "exit" to exit the command prompt.

    The "Switch between Windows" icon now needs re - appear in your quick launch menu.

    It will be useful,

  • Cannot switch between windows without minimizing everything.

    Recently (as of 02/10/2010 on Windows 7 x 64) when I have several windows open, whenever I click on another application open on the taskbar instead of the window popping up, the part of the taskbar just flashes orange. (This is equivalent to 'Flash' which occurs when something has changed on a window not displayed.)

    The only way to see the window is to hit 'show desktop' and re - click on the item in the taskbar. (I note that the question becomes then solid orange until I open it).

    Even Alt + tab doesn't do a thing! (However, switching Aero 3D * fact * work)

    However, this is obviously a major nuisance. I am very computer savy, so I looked for registry items suggested by other forums/issues; However, I can not find the question. Oh, and I can't find any software, I installed before you see this question.

    Help, please! This is obviously a MAJOR obstacle for me. (I'm a software engineer that usually passes between many applications...) Thanks in advance!

    Wow... the process of any connection was totally useless and glitch.  Incredible.

    UH I just had the same thing happen as above and it took about 10 attempts of different search on bing (really google! lol) to find this single cry for help.

    It's the second time that this has happened for me.  I think I figured it out - like the suggestion of system restore - why not simply tell it to reinstall windows?

    As I said, after several useless research, I found this, and when I was trying to read that I realized it was a floating 'OPEN' or some other "INVITE" button floating on my screen on the top of my window - it was white and not easy to see and well, it seems to have been of Microsoft Security Essentials - I had 3 programs that run and each attempt to access everything that wasn't on top , gave the orange flashing only that you can't see "!" @# ! #@ "unless you minimize etc.

    Once I clicked the button 'OPEN' - Microsoft Security Essentials popped up on top and he asked me to do a scan.  He did not appear as a running program in the bar as he is in try it then... no task button to select.

    I think she appeared and I was doing something (gosh why a program just pop up when I type and steal the objective?) as I say I was typing so almost immediately, he was pushed to the background - except for the small white floating on my word doc - white button almost invisible.  Once this State took place that I have been unable to pass the task until I hit this button.  When the user minimizes the task switch function works, but there is no way to see that MSE is the question.

    System Restore... Yes that corrects everyting

  • Looking for how P2V Windows NT4 on Wan

    Hello all,.

    I have a Server Windows NT 4 SPa6 in the East of the United States and need it virtualize somehow to our data centre in the West that has ESX 3.0.  I tried to use cold CD converter that did not work in the East but works perfectly in the data center (suspect WAN is the problem).

    Allowing us to create a ghost ghost 8.2 image (.) GHO), which did not work because the drivers are all wrong and virtual machine blue screens.

    Looking for suggestions on the best way to get what was going on above, I'm sure someone has encountered this before.  I don't have the same hardware in the data center or I will try to use the image to rebuild the physical and then migrate.

    Thank you

    Aaron

    You also have a ghost image? Good.

    restoration - which as you already done - then use the converter installed elsewhere and run in mode configuration against the vmx-file already created.

    Furthermore - the BSOD is a good sign and shows that thew ghost-import was successful
