TaskSwitchXP Pro
Improve your task switcher

TaskSwitchXP is an alternative task switcher for Windows XP that improves on the standard task switcher.

Once installed, hitting Alt+Tab will launch a pop-up window containing a list of all open windows, complete with the title of the page or program. Alongside each item in the list is a thumbnail image of the application window.

You can also use it to minimise any window to the tray notification area, although you'll need to activate this function via the program's settings.

You can alter lots of elements of TaskSwitchXP such as the appearance (font type and size etc), the size of the thumbnail preview image, and much more.

It also has support for dual monitor setups, telling exactly what programs you have open and not just those on your primary display.
