winxp alt-tab dialog I can select apps directly from - is this win   
Greetings,

I inherited a winxp Pro SP2 workstation from another employee who left the 
company.  I noticed that when I Alt-Tab between programs the Alt-tab dialog 
displays not only the program icons but will show a thumbnail of the first 
app in the list.  Plus, I can select a program directly from the dialog 
window.  Is this a winXP feature, or did the other employee load an external 
application to do this?  How can I make alt-tab behave this way on other 
winxp machines?

Thanks,
Rich

   Sounds like one of the Microsoft PowerToys were installed:
