How to fix the Vista TASK SWITCHING ORDER -- badly broken/designed (May 09 2008 00:59 GMT) - Why -- and how to fix -- is the Vista TASK SWITCHING ORDER so badly broken/designed? This is just driving me crazy -- under older versions of Windows you could trivially predict where a program would be in the task switching order, last program used 1st, previous next,etc. Now is is (sometimes) seemingly random -- other times in the older order. I do understand some concept of closing the window, or perhaps iconizing the program, that might put the task at the END of the switching order but this is not even what Vista does. It frequently will put the most recently used program at the end, OR near but not AT the end. |
