I'm an idiot. I downloaded multiple Tweak software
programs, and changed my Alt-Tab to display a screenshot
of the program to change to, which takes too long to
load. I want to undo that, and have searched through all
the tweak programs I have, and can't find that option to
change it back.

Anyone know which tweak program can take care of this?

Thanks!
 
Ravi,

It's the CoolSwitch (ALT+TAB replacement) powertoy. See this thread for more information:

Hi Ravi,

It sounds like you have the XP PowerToys installed. If so, 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 computer, Windows
reverts back to the classic task switcher.

To activate manually: Modify these registry values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

"CoolSwitch"
"CoolSwitchColumns"
"CoolSwitchRows"

....to reflect how many columns and rows, respectively, you want to appear in
the Alt+Tab cool switch display.
