We have some people that have the active window within an
application promote the next active window to the front of
the desktop. While this is not working for others. I do
know that it is related to the user profile because this
follows them from PC to PC. Do you know what current user
key supports this function?
 
Hi Howard,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop\
"ForegroundLockTimeout"

TweakUI/General/Focus

Prevent Programs from Stealing Focus - Undo (Line 66)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

When a window that does not have focus is updated by its program, the
default setting prevents it from becoming the foremost (top) window,
instead, it flashes in the taskbar.

HeldUp is the easiest way to stop windows from disappearing behind other
programs. http://www.johnmacintyre.ca/HeldUp.asp
