Process windows are made active in order of their launch. Since your IE
window is inactive, there is probably some other application that gets launched later on, pushing IE to the background. You should be able to see it while watching your screen during the startup process. A simple way to get over the issue is to delay the start of IE by x seconds. You could do it by deleting IE from the Startup menu and putting this batch file in its place: @echo off set delay=30 ping localhost -n 30 > nul "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.google.com Another way is to use cmdow to force IE to the top. You can download this tool from here: http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/.
