Download the TaskSwitchXP Task Switcher
SUMMARY: TaskSwitchXP offers an alternative to the Windows XP Alt+Tab Task Switching.
The TaskSwitchXP software replaces and enhances the normal Windows XP Alt+Tab task switching. Similar to the Windows XP PowerToy, TaskSwitchXP shows screenshots while cycling through open windows.
Many configuration options are available in the software. You can enable transparency and animations, change window title fonts, and you can also change the positioning of the screenshots.

Several hotkeys are available, and while listing tasks you can maximize tasks, tile windows, terminate tasks, and minimize tasks - even to the system tray if you want to save space on your Windows XP Taskbar. You can also view process information or navigate Explorer to where the task's program is located. A full list of shortcuts is at http://www.ntwind.com/software/taskswitchxp/shortcuts.html
TaskSwitchXP is freeware and distributed under an Open Source license (as of April 2, 2009).
