Click finish. Now you can double-click the shortcut to use Flip3D. You can copy and paste, or even copy the shortcut into your quick launch toolbar. If you want to got one step further, and give the icon a more familiar icon look, then right-click the new Flip3D icon, and choose properties. On the Shortcut tab click Change Icon.
