Vista - Alt-Tab Replacement for Vista

Is there a version of the Alt-Tab tool from XP Powertoys,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx, for
Vista?

Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,

Um, alt-tab in Vista already gives you a preview, as does hovering the mouse
over the button on the taskbar. I'm not sure what more you are asking for.

You are absolutely correct. I log in via remote desktop. After getting on
the box locally, I see Vista has a very nice alt-tab preview. None of that
comes through via RD. Do you know if there is a way to use something
similar through RD?

Thanks,
Brett

Hi,

No, sorry, I don't. The preview is part of the user shell, something that
doesn't come across when you remote in.
