Hi Grice,

Go to Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Powertoys for XP/Change or
Remove. Uninstall the task switcher.

And/or Go to Start/Run and type in msconfig. Click the Startup tab and
uncheck startup item taskswitch. After restarting your comptuer, Windows
reverts back to the classic task switcher.

To remove the listing from Msconfig:

Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup (Line 148)
