Hi,

I'm using windows xp where i work. When i press alt+tab to switch programs,
a nice window pops up with the open program icons on the right and a preview
pain of the program on the left.

How do i turn on this option in windows xp? i'd like to use it for my laptop.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan,

That requires installing the Alt-Tab Replacement PowerToy (Taskswitch.exe),
available for d/load from here:
