Editor's review of TaskSwitchXP Pro
stars
- "Switch like a pro, but for free"
- Version reviewed: TaskSwitchXP Pro 2.0.11
This simple utility enhances Windows' Alt Tab functionality by displaying screenshots of open windows along with their icons. TaskSwitchXP Pro's familiar Windows XP-style interface is accessible from the system tray or by using the conventional Alt Tab keys. The icons are arranged in a vertical list on the right, while a snapshot of the selected window appears on the left.
TaskSwitchXP Pro is extremely handy, especially with multiple instances of a particular application. The graphic display makes it much easier to choose the right window. You'll find an assortment of settings for customizing the program's appearance, choosing and defining hot keys, and accessing the program. TaskSwitchXP also is available in several languages.
This time-saving tool puts more power into the standard Alt Tab shortcut, is easy enough for anyone to use, and is offered free of charge.

Version: TaskSwitchXP Pro 2.0.11
Pros: It looks ok.. nothing crazy..
Cons: I run two monitors with an extended desktop and this application did some funky stuff with my displays when I tried to use it.. I ended up trying, after a few other third party applications of a similar nature, the "Alt-Tab Replacement" Power Toy available from Microsoft and liked it the best.. Since I cannot provide a link in this review.. Google "Microsoft Power Toys" if you want to give that a try..

Version: TaskSwitchXP Pro 2.0.11
Pros: This is a simple small footprint application, works beautifully and gives you an enhanced experience when switching between apps. For better results, check the "use low-level keyboard hook" box on the preferences. Zero problems, 100% satisfaction!
Cons: I have no complaints!
