Faster Task Switching

Faster Task Switching

If you installed WindowsXP Power Tools from Microsoft, when you press Alt-Tab to switch between running applications,
you get a screen that shows a small graphic of the window that is of that application along with its icon.
This also takes a long time to display. (Or at least longer than I'm comfortable with)

You can speed this up and revert back to previous ways task switching is displayed.

To Turn This Off After Your Reboot:

Run MSCONFIG

Click on the Startup tab

Uncheck Taskswitch

Click on the OK button

If you want to keep working, click on Exit without Restart


To Turn This Off Immediately:

Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Click on the Processes tab

Highlight TaskSwitch.exe

Click on the End Process tab

Click on the Yes button
