EDIT:

DOWNLOAD X-Mouse Button Control 1.28 they have a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. Once installed click the middle mouse dropdown, select "FLIP 3d *Vista only", it's that easy.

OR

the alternate way is to create a flip3d shortcut and map it using a mouse configuration program that works with your mouse. I did the following..

1. Right click on your desktop and select New and then Shortcut.

2. Copy and paste "RunDll32 DwmApi #105" (without the qoutes) into the location box and hit Next.

3. Enter in a name for your shortcut and hit Finish.

4. Copy/Cut and Paste your new shortcut where ever you want.

Now download IntelliPoint 6.1, from here and install it. I have the most generic non Microsoft of OPTICAL MOUSE and it still worked. So I can confirm intellipoint works on generic non MS mouses. Once you install Intellipoint, click the "Microsoft Mouse" icon it created on your desktop to launch Intellipoint. Click "wheel button" dropdown and select "Custom" at the very bottom of the drop down. Now it will give you an option to browse for a file, browse to the shortcut file we made earlier, and click apply. FLIP 3d IS NOW APPLIED TO YOUR MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON!! and might i say it's very useful. Enjoy!

This is nice because I have a button on my mouse that does NOTHING, and the icon for it has two windows infront of each other, looks like it was made for Flip3D..

-Edit-

Doesn't work, alternativly, you can download a small app called HotkeyP and use that to bind Flip3D.

A Logitech? I have that same button on my Logitech MX510. I think it brings up the desktop if you have the Logitech software installed.

I'm in the same boat as you. The intellipoint software didn't work with my mouse. Everytime I started the app it told me to install an MS mouse or connect my bluetooth MS mouse. I ignored the prompts and went to the configuration screen but any changes I made (ie. setting middle click to 'instant preview') had no effect.

The app worked fine when I plugged in an old MS optical mouse.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make my own shortcut for quick view?

Sorry, my post wasn't clear. What I meant was, is there a way to use the hotkeyP (or any app that can bind shorcuts to the mouse) to launch Instant Viewer, not Flip3D. The app (Instant Viewer) is already on my computer so there must be some other way to launch it.

IntelliPoint drivers don't work with PS/2 mouses...

what are you talking about? I have my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 connected via the PS/2 port and the newest IntelliPoint drivers work flawlessly :blink:

I think he means an old roll ball mouse, i think only optical mouses are supported, I could be wrong though.

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
