Page slamming!

[Sicentyred]

Is there some way to modify Explorer 6.0 so that it
doesn't slam every new page on the top of the pile and in
my face when it finishes loading? I usually am running at
least 3-4 net pages at a given time and, especially when
reading news online, I'm loading a new article on one page
while reading another, etc. and I don't like it when the
newly loaded page demands attention and forces its way to
the top layer! Explorer will even do this when working on
another program...such as word processing; yesterday I was
in the middle of a document and suddenly I wasn't but
instead was faced with a web page. Seems to me these
pages should load and stay wherever in the hell they are
and I'll come get them when I'm damned good and ready: any
ideas?

Sicentyred,

Do not use the taskbar buttons to swap between windows. Use the minimise
button (top right hand corner of loading screen) to reduce the window to the
taskbar instead. That should sort out the problem for you.
