Are you sure?
As for WinNT SP3a and later the solution in described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/win32/default.aspx.
Don't know if it works in Win98SE, etc.
As for Win98SE, there are some apps blocking Alt-Tab, but window manager
does not recieve it anyway.
I know i can bind another key to window switching, but i need Alt-Tab to
avoid users' questions.....
WBR, Alex.
