Is there a way to replace the Win+Tab key combination with Alt+Tab in Windows 7?

I'd be interested in a way to do so without Autohotkey, but if Autohotkey is the only answer please provide the script.

I would like to replace Win+Shift+Tab with Alt+Shift+Tab as well.

ALT+TAB is a lot more functional in my opinion.

Anyway, I've not used this myself, as I have never had a reason to, but you could try using SharpKeys.

How is this supposed to work? What I want is to have the functionality that is available with Win+Tab when I press Alt+Tab and the other way round. But the Win key and Alt key should work normaly when pressed separatly. SharpKeys does not seem to able to do that – b868727 Oct 6 '10 at 10:13

In an autohotkey script you can add the line:

LAlt & Tab::Send #{Tab}

When the left alt key and Tab are pressed, it will send Win-Tab to the system.

For some reason, I have yet to get the shift key working (if anyone can explain it in a comment, I'll add it!)

Caveat: I don't have a version of Windows 7 to play with. This was tested on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
