Is there an easy way to unload/remove/prevent it from loading?
I'm happy without seeing a preview of the page. In fact I very

taskswitch.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft TaskSwitch
Utility. It provides the user with a way to switch between the
application that are running by using the Alt+Tab keys. This
program is a non-essential system process, but should not be
terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

And for those wondering, Vinod got that from:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/taskswitch/

Or one of the other many websites that keep databases of the tasks that
might be running on a computer and what they believe them to do.

You could have found this as well by simply using Google:

Search using Google!

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Specifically:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=taskswitch.exe

Where the link above and many more answers about this can be found.

For those wondering what answers were given to this thread over all:
