Vista "Switch Between windows" for XP

Is there a plug in or tool for XP that simulates Vista's "Switch Between windows"?

Are you talking about "Flip 3D"?  If so, then this page gives an XP program that does what you want:

Alt-Tab Replacement

This is a MS tool, that gives a preview when using Alt+Tab....

We tried LeeTutor link, but we're looking for something free; nevertheless, within the link there another link to "Shock Aero" which is pretty close and free (but kind'a slow).

TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe doesn't come close, and even messed up my Windows displaying garbage.

Hiw do I uninstall it?

I have never used any of those programs, by the way.  As to how to uninstall Taskswitch PowerToy, it probably can be uninstalled in Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

WinFlip is Great!  We're testing with 10 widows open and is fast
It looks like this page has some things to say about how the Taskswitch Powertoy is installed and uninstalled:
