Default Automated ALT-TAB and refresh Software

Does any one know of any free software that will alt tab between 2 windows. Both IE7 windows and auto refresh the browser page at the same time?

Does it exist? I have been searching for a couple of hours and found nothing.

Thanks

No, could write something to do it or use a macro recorder, so turn recorder on, record keystrokes and then playback in an infinite loop.

there is an auto-refresh plugin for IE7 available.

or use opera, which has this built in.

not sure about switching betwix apps though, although opera may support tiling browser pages (not sure)

good luck

Crazybrowser will do both. You can set it to switch tabs (ie, change windows) and turn on auto refresh with various increments of time.
