How do I stop windows from promoting themselves to foreground?
Hi All
Does anyone know how I can prevent background windows from promoting themselves to the foreground and stealing the focus? Essentially, I want to prevent any window from being promoted to the foreground unless I click on it in the taskbar (or Alt-Tab, etc). Is this possible? For example, when I click on a link in Explorer, the page starts loading, I switch to another window and type something else, then in the middle of my sentence the Explorer window makes itself the foreground and the second half of my sentence gets lost. This drives me nuts. It's especially bad when (eg) I'm typing in a password to log on to a website. It happens with all applications, not just Explorer. Cheers Richard |
