Hi Patti, Flip 3D displays Windows in a stack. It is part of the aero theme. It is a visually-pleasing display of open files and folders or other windows to a person looking at the screen. A mouse user doesn't have to click the taskbar to see the open windows as they are presented in a stack on the screen. The top of the stack shows one open window and a person using a mouse can quickly flip between the other stacked windows. When flip 3D is active then a person can use up or right arrow key to move forward one window at a time and left and down arrow keys to move backward one window at a time. Again though, although there are Windows 7 keystrokes associated with this Windows element, it really doesn't benefit JAWS users. Alt+tab displays each windows thumbnail in Windows 7 or each window's icon in XP and is the best method for JAWS users to cycle between open windows. The person who wrote the Email that I was responding to just asked for keystrokes specific to Windows 7 and so I sent the list I had for those keystrokes relevant to the taskbar. Again, mouse users do not have to click on the taskbar if they are using the aero theme and have started flip 3D.
Take care.
