Using this application you can switch between running applications and/or close them. Switch is a task-switcher without unnecessary overhead. So it's simple, fast and just does its job. The Pocket PC edition also supports Landscape mode now.

Switch does not occupy the entire taskbar like other applications of this genre do. So you can continue using other applications (e.g. TaskbarDate) which do something on the taskbar. Since version 1.25 Switch is also optimized for WM2005 devices. At the moment Switch can be used on the following platforms: Palm-sized PC, PPC2002, WM2003 and WM2005. Switch may also works on PPC2000.

Features:
- Integrates into the standard Windows CE taskbar.
- Show desk (displays today screen; the name can be changed using tweaks).
- Close current (closes the application which is currently on top).
- Close all (closes all running applications).
- Close all but current (closes all running application but not the application which is currently on top).
- Plug-Ins.
- Ignore (ignore configured application names).

This little utility is a mainstay for me, along with a memory manager. Without these, WM5 soon fills with inactive but still-open programs that quickly bring things to grinding halt due to out of memory, or at best slow down processing. So, Switch handles essential housekeeping chores nearly perfectly. The only thing that it cannot do is to close MSN Messenger, which I can only close from settings, system, memory, running programs, close (or close all). Thanks to the author for doing such a great job!

Very useful and nice tool; once you have it installed... For the first time in ages I needed to consult a manual not to use a program or device but to install software that comes without installment program. "Switch" is great and with some plug-ins installed extra it is super.

Nice tool but I accidently placed the icon UNDER my desktop and now I don't see how to make the icon visible again without reinstalling switch :-S

I looked since a long time for such a good utility. I find it useful to switch between the tasks very easy (for example when I look to the dictionary and then to a e-book in a foreign language). This tool help me a lot! And the best: it is freeware!
