Hold Alt and Shift at the same time while clicking Tab to move from one application to next. Using this shortcut key will display all of your open applications in a larger view.
From this view, use your arrow keys to select the appropriate application. I'm assuming that Windows 8, by default, ignores all application shortcuts that have different start in paths if the target app is the same. How do I change this default behavior so that all shortcuts, regardless of if they have the same target, show up? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 1. Report abuse.

Exploring Windows 8 is a like treasure hunting: every so often, you find a hidden gem. Since the operating system launched in October, Windows 8 revealed a wide range of secrets for those curious enough to find them, ranging from quick shortcuts to helpful maintenance tools.
Type and Search Need to run a search in Windows 8 for a rarely-used application? Just start typing on an open area of the Start Screen. The operating system pulls up search results based on what you typed.
Not having to open a search box is a nice timesaver, although if your touch-typing is as bad of mine you might send the system searching for misspelled apps. No more opening Microsoft Paint, pasting and manually saving screenshots. While Windows 8 dispenses with the Start button, Microsoft added a lovely little context menu. Today, we will see how we can turn on the display of more details about these shortcuts which the Explorer shell hides. In Windows 8. The best way to identify a shortcut is to simply observe its icon for a tiny overlay arrow.
If the item is not a shortcut, it won't have an overlay arrow. You can also easily change or remove this overlay arrow icon using Winaero Shortcut Arrow Editor.
When you point towards a shortcut, you get a tooltip also known as an infotip showing the comment property. The comment and such other related properties are usually stored on the file system or inside the shortcut file such as the target command line, shortcut hotkey, target type, icon, info on whether to run the shortcut as admin and other information.
This is all quite useful information. So AppIDs are yet another property stored inside a shortcut file. Starting with Windows 95, you could right click an object to see its properties or hover over an item to see the properties inside a tooltip. In Windows Vista, Microsoft expanded the system of reading and writing properties from the Explorer shell and added various new ways to display those properties.
In Windows Vista and later, these Properties are shown in other places in the Windows user interface such as the Explorer Details Pane, in Explorer content views, in file operation prompts and copy conflict prompts. They are also shown on the Details tab which is new to Windows Vista.
These properties as mentioned above can be file system related or some metadata stored inside the file itself. To read the properties stored inside a file, Windows ships with several property handlers, a kind of Explorer shell extension new to Vista. The details which we mentioned above about shortcuts are all stored inside the shortcut file. Now since shortcuts store so much information, wouldn't it be nice if these properties such as the target command line, the location where the shortcut is stored, and AppID were also shown in the Start menu and Explorer?
Despite having many useful properties stored in the shortcut, Windows only shows the comment in the tooltip, a feature which was introduced in Windows and hasn't changed since. Well, the good news is that the Windows Registry allows fully customizing which properties are displayed where.
