Switch Between Open Windows the Apple Way
 My graphic designer uses a Mac (I use a PC) and while he was switching between windows I noticed how simple it was. One click the windows tiled all over the desktop. I was told it’s called Expose for the Mac.
Windows has something similar, but nothing in comparison. It’s me using the Alt+Tab buttons. The Windows Flip in Vista is pointless.
Switcher for Vista
Searching around the internet, I found Switcher for Vista. It works great, just like Mac’s Expose. You can also setup unlimited number of shortcuts. The most important shortcut for me was launching the program. I could use a keyboard shortcut, but I wanted to use the scroll wheel button to tile the windows.
How to Use the Mouse Scroll Wheel Button to Launch Windows Switcher
- In Switcher settings, go to Shortcuts link
- Click the ‘Change’ button next to Mouse Shortcut
- Select the shortcut in the left window
- Use these settings:
- Close and you’re done
Warning: You must click outside of any window otherwise the window will close.
Mike Swartz says, “Check it out”!

How to Fix CS4 Install Problems With Word and Outlook
 I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) Web Premium edition.
All was great until I tried to open up a Word 2003 document. I couldn’t. The only way to open up the file was to drag the file onto the Word icon.
Turns out I was also unable to use my mouse to create or edit an email in Outlook 2003. The keyboard was my only friend. I’m using Word as my email editor and I kept getting the error message:
Do you want to save the changes to: PDFMCustom.dot
Putting two and two together, I realized it must have been the CS4 install. It was and it changed or messed with my Windows registry settings.
The Fix
I searched high and low on Google and found the answer on Adobe’s forum explaining the fix:
- Edit Registry
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\
Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook
- Change the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2
- Restart
It worked.
Whew! Thanks Google and thank you itmastera.
