Cool task switch in windows XP?

I've got two users in my department who are running Windows XP.

One user, when he presses alt-tab, gets the same kind of task switch screen that you get in Windows 2000. The icons for the applications, with truncated versions of the window names.

The second user, when he presses alt-tab, gets a mac-esqe screen showing miniaturized pictorial versions of each application's window. Very useful if you have a lot of windows open with similar window names. You can tell instantly, visually, which one is which, without having to parse the truncated window name.

User one covets user two's feature. User two doesn't recall having to do anything special to make this happen. Does anyone know how this gets enabled?

Hmm. I turned that on for a while once. It was very slow and the images of the windows were so artifacted that it was useless.

I seem to remember that it might be in TweakUI somewhere. I certainly don't remember trying very hard to activate it or turn it off. I'll look for it when I get home.

Actually, I think it's one of the other PowerToys now that I think about it for a second. Yup. Alt-Tab Replacement/TaskSwitch.

I think mine installed when I installed the ATI software for my video card?

This is the alt-tab replacement utitlity from Windows Xp's Powertoys, which you can find here.
This is only one of the powertoys... I like TweakUI the best myself eg.

Edit : too slow...

Aha, that must have been what happened to user two. His computer has a third-party video card, whereas user one has built-in motherboard video.

Thanks everyone for the link to the power toy.
