"Open in new window" steals focus

A

Amaury Laporte

Hi everyone,

When I right-click on a link and select "open in new
window" the new window will steal the focus away from the
original window (in other words, the new window comes on
top of the old one).
Is there a way to prevent this, besides using a utility
such as winontop?
I've checked the "prevent applications from stealing
focus" in Tweak UI, but it doesn't seem to help.
I use Windows XP Home and IE6.

Thank you,

Amaury

Look at your setting for Reuse windows for running shortcuts in:
Tools/Internet Options/Advance Tab. Change it.

Thanks, I just tried but it hasn't solved the problem.
Any other suggestions would be welcome!
