Hey Timopod,
A lot of folks like "magic button" which has all the features of switcherbar (and then some) including an option to start it automatically on every startup.

Both these programs seem to hang up if you get too random (like experimenting with wireless) so what I've found is that it's most handy to just activate it when I need it. For me, that meant linking it to a button.

I found SwitcherBar.lnk under the \Windows\ directory, copied it to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ directory and then changing it's attributes so it was not "hidden". To do this I used the Total Commander

which does all the things you wished File Explorer would do. Then I just assigned it to button 4. If you don't unhide it, it won't show up in the picklist to assign to a button.
