If you’re using Vista, there’s a good chance that you have Flip 3D enabled. If not, it’s easy to enable it. To do so, open the Control Panel and click on the three lines in the top left corner: System and Security. Then click on the three lines in the bottom right corner: Administrative Tools. Now click on Flip 3D. You’ll see a dialog box asking if you want to enable or disable Flip 3D. Click on the Enable button to enable Flip 3D. If you don’t want to enable Flip 3D, click on the Disable button to disable it. Now open a new window and try flipping around some pictures or videos!


The solution to this problem comes in the form of a tiny little application called Vista Flip 3D Activator, and it lets you assign a corner of the screen to activate Flip 3D, providing you haven’t disabled Flip 3D like I have.

Using Vista Flip 3D Activator

Installing the application is as simple as downloading and extracting the program file and running through the install wizard. Once you’ve done that, you can then check the corner of the screen that you’d like to use for activating Flip 3D…

You can also assign a mouse button if you want, although you should note that it doesn’t override IntelliMouse settings. Once you’ve activated Flip 3D, you can use your mouse wheel to scroll between the different windows, and then click to activate.

Note: for those of you that might be wondering, you can make Flip 3D stay on the screen without using any software by either clicking the “Window Switcher” icon in the Quick Launch (second to the left), or you can use the keyboard shortcut Win+Ctrl+Tab to make it stay on the screen. When it comes down to it, this utility really only saves clicking on the Quick Launch icon.

I’ve never been a fan of Flip 3D, but it’s a good chance to show off my favorite wallpaper!

This utility is extremely lightweight, weighing in around 2mb on my system, and that was when I was toying with it.

If you are a fan of Flip 3D, this is definitely the utility for you.
