As its name implies, Alt-Tab Replacement is a handy single-function utility for Windows XP that enhances the Alt-Tab functionality. It couldn't be easier to get started--you'll find the new functionality as soon as the program is installed--but we suggest that you take a look at the brief description and instructions in the Read Me file. The program adds a new way to find what you're looking for in your open windows. When you use the Alt-Tab keys to view open applications, you'll see a preview of the window in addition to the program name and icon. You can also quickly go back and forth on the list of running programs by pressing or releasing the Shift key with the Alt-Tab keys. Windows XP users will surely appreciate the convenience and additional flexibility that this freebie provides.

Not compatible with Excel 2007
SikkBoyNovember 4, 2009
Pros
The idea is great
Cons
If you're using MS Excel 2007, it will not work
Summary
If you're in MS Excel 2007 and you attempt to alt-tab to another MS Excel 2007 file, it won't switch. Instead it stays on the original file and the menu bar is highlighted. Since it doesn't functional as it is supposed to, I have to rate it as a single star.
Doesn't Work

Pros
(Why does this box require 10 characters when "none" is what I want to type?)
Cons
This app is supposed to replace the default Windows alt-tab functionality, but instead keeps ANY functionality from happening. Yes, it makes tiny windows previews pop up, but I am unable to switch between them.
Summary
I had to go back to the default alt-tab function, and I'm still looking for a decent alt-tab replacement.
