Default Putting tasks from taskbar on a sidebar

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a windows desktop sidebar that shows you the list
of task as shown in the taskbar?
Moving the task bar is not an option here because the location of the
'start' button and the clock is still important.

Thanks,

Micky

Default Putting tasks from taskbar on a sidebar

Nothing like that "built-in" to WinXP - but, you always have the old "Task
Switcher" utility.

That is, the ability to press the [Alt-Tab] key-combination to display a
list of running applications in the centre of the screen. Repeated
pressing & holing of the [Alt-Tab] key-combination, cycles the focus
through the list and switches to the application highlighted as you release
the keys.

But check out the "enhanced version" of the [Alt-Tab] Task Switcher...
This download, (from Microsoft's "PowerToys" range of "Add-Ons") adds a
"mini-screen-shot" to each of the objects that appear on using the
[Alt-Tab] task-switching function.

Download the [Alt-Tab] TaskSwitcher Powertoy from :
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe
