Active Desktop synchronize grabs window focus

[Frank J. reda]

I've used active desktop to update live charts / images on a five minute
schedule for years. I just got a new PC and set it up to do the same.
However, when it goes to do the sync now, it grabs focus from whatever app
I'm using. It's really annoying. Anyone know how to make it stop grabbing
the focus?
