IE page auto-reload problem

[Jay]

I've had this problem ever since I installed SP2 for XP.
If I have an IE page that automatically reloads, every
time it reloads it appears on top and interrupts whatever
else I'm doing. For example, I'll be typing an e-mail
when suddenly my reloaded IE page pops up. Before I
installed SP2, it would just reload in the background.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Hi,
TweakUI, part of Powertoys for Windows XP, has a "prevent applications from
stealing focus" option. Powertoys is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

I've never found this setting to be very reliable. You may be better off
minimizing the window you don't want to see.

Hope this helps,
Don
