Description

ActivateByNum enables Windows 7 task-switching hotkeys on XP and Vista.

Windows Logo Key +1 switches to the first window on the taskbar and Windows Logo Key +2 the second, etc. (It works with only the first 10 windows. The particular window is minimized if it's already active.) For a collapsed group of window buttons, repeatedly pressing the same Windows Logo Key +n combination (where n is the position of the group on the taskbar) will cycle through each window in the group.

Windows Logo Key +- shows button numbers (>= 5) as tooltips.

Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit)

Other recommended utilities

ActivateByNum works best when used with Taskix or Taskbar Shuffle for rearranging taskbar buttons and Taskbaric for iconizing taskbar buttons.
