Have you every wished you could switch between windows automatically every couple of seconds? Me neither, but thanks to those guys over at TechTV's The Screen Savers, at least one persons dream has become reality! :) While the basic concept of AnalogX AutoTab is pretty straight forward, it does have a couple of cool twists that should make it useful for anyone who is looking to do this (an example might be if you wanted to have a computer cycle through a variety of applications at a tradeshow or something similar).

Operation is simple - just run the program from the Start Menu, and it will appear on the task bar (on the lower right of the screen in most cases, right by the clock). If the little tab icon is green, then the program will cycle through the open applications at a user specified interval, if it's red, it's disabled; to start it up, simply double-click on the icon.

There aren't a whole lot of options, but if you right-click on the icon, you can bring up a menu to get to the configuration dialog - from here you can set the number of seconds it waits before switching to the next window. You may also specify that it should minimize all the windows except the one visible (Minimize Inactive = Enabled), or have it only cycle through the maximized applications one after the other (Minimize Inactive = Disabled).

Special thanks to the guys over at TechTV (specifically The Screen Savers) for suggesting this, and helping to test it. Make sure to check them out at:
