WindowsXP pro Desktop Question

[Midon]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the key combination in XP that gives the window selection screen as in the attached picture?

The picture is far too small to see what you have there...
Are these all office apps?
Are you asking if there is a short cut key to arrange the windows on your desktop specifically for office?

Instant viewer is a feature of the Intellipoint software.
Short of that you can use the ALT-TAB replacement powertoy.

Hi NooNoo,
To answer your questions in ordere;
1. Larger picture is here@ http://www.english-hiker.pwp.blueyon...esktop_800.jpg
2. Excel, Word, Outlook & Print Manager
3. No

I got that view when I leaned across the keyboard, if you select any of the windows that are shown, then that window is selected. A bit like [Alt/Tab],but not using [Alt/Tab]

I have no idea what keys I caught to get it, neither have the IT department where I work, (the screenshot is from my work PC, though I have had it happen on my home PC also).

Hi CeeBee,

Thanks for your input. I have tried the ALT-TAB replacement powertoy.

But it it is still a mystery

All XP shortcuts

all office 2003 shortcuts

I don't see anything that describes what you have there.

Because it's a feature of Intellimouse, not a Windowze thing...

[NooNoo]

so how did he do it by leaning on the keyboard?

Maybe accidentally clicked the scroll button (which is the default)?

Hi CeeBee,

I have Intellipoint 5.3 installed on my home PC. Clicking the mouse wheel button cycles through the open windows, but I still cannot duplicate the screen display;

I have intellipoint as well, and I can't make it do that either....

OK I have found that lots of people get this to work just fine... you click your middle mouse scroll wheel down (use it like a button)... but for the life of me I can't get it to work for me.

You can set the middle scroll wheel button to do a bunch of different things... set it up by control panel > mouse and it will launch the intellipoint settings.

I really want to get this to work now

Yah done that, but I can click the scroll till I am blue in the face, I just get the auto scroll feature or nothing if it's clicked on the desktop

Got to wipe this laptop (replacing the HDD) so I will try set it up afterwards.

Maybe it's only working on mice with additional buttons??? I wouldn't be surprised to see M$ locking features to specific hardware only.
