Unbind native alt+tab, force dexpot to assign hotkey to alt+

I really would like to bind a dexpot function to alt+tab, instead of using the windows alt+tab. When I try to assign this hotkey in dexpot, it does not allow me (presumably because windows already has this hotkey bound to their native alt+tab interface). Does anyone know a method of forcing dexpot to bind the hotkey? (Perhaps by first unbinding the windows alt+tab) ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much!

ack, okay thanks for your response. if possible, please consider including it in a future version. i know it can be done because alternatives to dexpot like VistaSwitcher have the feature available.
thanks!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking, but I just bound Alt-Tab to dexpot's task switcher in Windows XP to bind Dexpot's task switcher to window's task switcher:

Is that not what you're trying to do?

It is, but unfortunately that no longer works on Windows Vista and 7.

Perhaps it's just a Windows 7/ Vista problem? The program recognizes the key binding error (notice the error triangle).

*EDIT* Windows 7/vista problem confirmed in previous post. *EDIT*
