RE: [h-e-w] Alt-tab does not switch tasks

[Raynor, Bill]

If I eliminate the entire (custom-set-variables ... definition the
ALT-Tab problem goes away. 
If I comment out " ;(desktop-save-mode 1)" the pid complaint ceases. 

Here is the custom-set-variables definition:
;(custom-set-variables
;  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
; '(cua-mode t nil (cua-base))
; '(emacsw32-max-frames nil)
; '(emacsw32-mode t)
; '(emacsw32-style-frame-title t)
; '(htmlize-view-print-visible t t)
; '(menuacc-active t nil (menuacc))
; '(org-agenda-files (quote ("~/todo.org")))
; '(pr-gs-command "c:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs8.54\\bin\\gswin32c.exe")
; '(pr-gv-command "C:\\Program Files\\Ghostgum\\gsview\\gsview32.exe")
; '(recentf-mode t)
; '(swbuff-y-mode t)
; '(transient-mark-mode t)
; '(w32-feeling-mode t nil (w32-feeling))
; '(w32-meta-style (quote w32-lr))
; '(w32-print-menu-show-print nil)
; '(w32-print-menu-show-ps-print nil)
; '(w32shell-shell (quote cmd)))
;(custom-set-faces
;  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
; )

How does one comment out individual pieces of the custom-set-variables
definition? My lisp experience is of the cut and paste variety.
