What home selector tool does is simply switch the order of $ORACLE_HOME/bin's (or %ORACLE_HOME%\bin's on Windows) in the PATH environment variable so that selected home goes first. With OUI 10.x, you fire it up, wait a little while for it to show up, then click Installed Products button, Environment tab and there you have the list of homes with Up/Down buttons to change their order and Apply button. And yes, you can use OUI 10.x to switch home to Ora92 all the same. However, editing the PATH variable is a lot faster to me while the outcome is the same. The choice is yours.
