How to Speed Up Flip 3D in Windows Vista and Windows 7
To use the Flip 3D feature, hold down the 
key and then press the Tab key. Windows Flip 3D is one of Windows Vista and Windows 7 coolest features. All the open windows will cascade across your desktop in 3-D. Flip through the cascading thumbnails by continuing to the press the Tab key. When the thumbnail of the window you want appears at the front of the stack, release the Windows logo key. Your windows will all lay back down with the window you want on top.
If you have a low end graphics card you may experience dropped frames resulting in a choppy animation experience while flipping through your windows. One easy way to make Flip 3D perform much better is to limit the number of windows it draws on your screen.
1. Launch the Registry Editor by typing regedit at the Start Menu search box or in Run dialog box.
2. Navigate to HKEY_ CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM key.
3. Create a new DWORD and name it as Max3Dwindows.
4. Set the value to the maximum number of windows you want displayed. If you have severe performance problems, set it at number 4; you can always increase the number later.
5. Open the Command Prompt by clicking Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, and open it as an administrator.
6. Type net stop uxsms and press Enter.
7. Then type net start uxsms and press Enter.
If you want you can also restart your computer for the change to take effect.
