Switch Between Windows Icon

I wanted to share this information with other since I was able to find how to create the Windows Vista icon named, "Switch Between Windows" found in the Quick Launch toolbar of the taskbar.

1. Create a New Shortcut

2. Title is "Switch Between Windows" (Or what ever you want)

3. Link = %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe

4. Arguments = dwmapi #105

5. Change image = %SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll (This is the default Windows Icon)

6. Click OK

Now when you click the icon it should give you the 3D switch effect.

I hope this helps

Cool!  I deleted that icon right after I got Vista and mostly use the WinKey-Tab (like alt-tab).  But it's good to know how to get it back.
