  • You can also use your mouse pointer to select the specific window. Simply left click on the icon to open it. You may jump to a specific window without following the above mentioned steps.
  • To do this, you need to locate the key labeled “Alt”. Now press the Tab key and Alt key simultaneously and hold on to them. This will display a line of icons virtually shrinking the open windows.
  • To scroll through the windows, you need to hit the tab button each time. This will help you toggle through the list of icons. When you finally reach your target folder, you need to release both the keys at once. This will open the selected window on your monitor.
