wine users - May 2009 - How to switch between current running wine apps

I really don't know how to google this or forum search this question as I
have been trying to find the answer for an hour or so. I apologize if it's
somewhere on the board spammed a lot but: How do I switch between different
running wine apps. Pretty much, how do I use an emulated version of Alt+Tab in
Wine? I don't know the hotkey, thanks!

Alt+tab should work fine...the windows should be handled by your
window manager as normal windows, unless you've disabled that in
winecfg.

So I was tinkering around with it and "desktop emulation" disables the
alt+tabbing from working. Kinda lame cuz I like using desktop emulation.

Use a different wineprefix for each application.

What do you mean by a wineprefix? How do I do that? I'm not the best at
linux nor wine.

Or separate desktop for each, running them like:

Code:
wine explorer /desktop=foo,1024x768 program1.exe
wine explorer /desktop=bar,1024x768 program2.exe

Yes. But be careful, since closing one desktop will then close the others:
