How do I change the Alt + Tab task switcher window to show more applications?

I run many apps concurrently and use Alt + Tab constantly. In fact, I prefer Alt + Tab to having multiple monitors. I mean, come on, you can only look at one thing at a time and this way I don't have to turn my head :-)

"Changing the number of icons show in the task-switcher involves editing a couple of registry entries. They are:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\CoolSwitchColumns
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\CoolSwitchRows

Windows XP users can also use the Microsoft TweakUI Power Toy to make this change.
