Skyrim Commander now includes all these functions plus more



Switch between Skyrim and Desktop fast without using Task Manager trick on fullscreen Alt-Tab.
No more double Alt-Tabbing.
Supports Xbox 360 controller
Safe choice of gamepad buttons (Left Bumper + Start or Back) to allow this awesome function.

Hotkeys:
Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow; Switch to Skyrim. Alternate to Alt-Tab. No more double Alt-Tabbing back to Skyrim.
Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow; Switch to Desktop. Skyrim will pause, same as it does when Alt-Tabbing.
Hot Buttons:
LeftBumper(LB)+Start: Switch to Skyrim. Alternate to Alt-Tab.
LeftBumper(LB)+Back: Switch to Desktop. Skyrim will pause, same as it does when Alt-Tabbing.

And Skyrim can be running before starting Skyrim Switcher and vice versa.
