Customizing Windows 7 Alt-Tab Experience – Windows 7 Tips

alt-tabwindowswindows 7

New Windows 7 User here (Mac OS X user, Windows XP if I have my choice in a windows only environment)

Is there a way to customize the Windows 7 Alt-Tab user experience? Ideally I’d like to return to

  1. Not switching to the application until I release both keys (Windows 7 changes to the application as you alt-tab through)

  2. Showing Icons instead of screenshots in the alt tab overlay

Built into the operating system solutions are preferred, although third party applications are welcome.

You can even use the utility to switch back to the old XP-style Alt+Tab dialog if you were so inclined.
