How to get Windows XP style default Alt-Tab behavior in Windows 7 without Administrator's privileges?

Question

I'd like to get the to the more usable Windows XP style Alt+Tab behavior by disabling Aero Peek by default when using Alt+Tab and not have to press and release the second Alt key first each time I want to navigate but I do not have administrator privilege to edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer add a DWORD with name AltTabSettings and Value 1. Neither do I have permission to access the Advanced section of the System control panel.

Is there any other way to get the old Alt+Tab behavior by default if I don't have permission to edit the registry or the advanced System control panel?
