Alt + Tab not working

I can't use the Alt + Tab thing to go between windows. I don't know how I turned it off. My baby son kicks my keyboard a lot and may have changed the settings - he has managed to alter my desktop configuration previously. Does anyone know how to get it back? Having to click on everything manually is very annoying.

Answer 1: Did you install the XP Powertoys?If that be the case try removing just
the ALT-TAB powertoy and see if that makes any difference.
Answer 2: Go to Start/Run and type in msconfig. Click the Startup tab and uncheck
startup item taskswitch if it is present (if not, ignore the next sentence).
After restarting your computer, Windows reverts back to the classic task
switcher.
Answer 3: It may have been somehow disabled. Try this:
Go to Start => Run and type in regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Look in the right-hand pane for the String 'CoolSwitch'
If it has a Value of 0, right-click on 'CoolSwitch' => click 'Modify' and change the Value to 1
OK and exit.

See if those help Fisho.
I have a 4 yo and a nearly 2 yo and the stuff they manage to do/delete/reconfigure with a few mouse clicks is unbelieveable. I wonder if anyone ever thought at Microsoft to get thirteen kids under 3 to do their testing for them?
