Limit the number of rotating flip 3D windows

There are several cool features in Windows 7. One of them is the rotating 3D Windows to choose a new program window. If you want to use this action you need to hold down TAB + Windows Button at the same time. It performs the same action as ALT+TAB but now you see the Windows rotating (for those that didn’t know this).

While this can look pretty cool, it can sometimes be a problem. If you are like me and most of the time you work with lots of programs running, then these rotating windows don’t look very nice. It’s also a problem for slower computers, rotating several windows can use a lot of power from your system.

To solve this problem we need to edit some things in the registry. We are now limiting the number of flip 3D Windows.

  • Go to Start menu
  • Select All Programs
  • Go to Accessories and open Run (or simply press the hotkey WINDOWS KEY+R)
  • Now type in “regedit” and press OK (you can also do this by typing “regedit” on the Search field of the Start menu and then pressing Enter)

Your Registry Editor is now opened and you should go the following Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM.

  • Now go to the Edit menu or right click in the right window.
  • Choose New>DWORD (32-bit) Value to create a new entry.
  • Name this entry Max3DWindows.
  • Now right-click and choose Modify.
  • Now you can set the maximum amount of windows you want to have rotating. For people with slower computers 5 might be the way to go. Click OK and that's it!
