You can make Vista's Alt-Tab option look like on XP, thus removing the Desktop item.

To do this, follow this:

Open Registry Editor by typing "regedit" in Vista's Start Menu search box and pressing Enter.

In the Registry Editor, navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>> Software>> Microsoft>> Windows>> CurrentVersion>> Explorer

In the Explorer folder ("subkey"), create a new DWORD value, named "AltTabSettings".

(Right-click>> New>> DWORD (32-bit) Value)

Double-click the newly created DWORD value, change it's value to "1" instead of "0", and choose "Hexadecimal".

Press OK, and enjoy the classic Alt-Tab feature.
