Better Switching and Minimizing of Programs
If you've been using the popular Alt+Tab shortcut to switch between open programs, there is a better way. If you've been trying to find an easy way to minimize all programs to tray (oh, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to do that), now there is way. What is it? TaskSwitchXP Pro 2.0 from Microsoft.
I've been using TaskSwitchXP for couple of weeks and I love it! It's an improvement of the old way of switching tasks. It shows you a preview of the screen, and it gives you a more descriptive list. See screenshot, below.
How do I get it? Download it from ntwind.com.
I heard about this from the Coding Horror blog. He has a nice description of what the program does. If you want to know more details how to use it, read it.
Be more productive. Use Task Switch.

Mike, I've only started using Alt+Tab recently, but I find myself using it more and more. It's great when you're swithching between two programs back and forth. But I mainly use the tool to minimize to tray. It works great. Click Alt-Tab and when you have the program selected, click F3.

I've never gotten into the whole Alt-TAB thing but that application is quite cool. So customizable. I may try to start Alt-TABing now because it seems to be quick once you get used to it.
