Prevent Application From Stealing Focus

Guest

Whay does the 'Prevent Application From Stealing Focus' option in TweakUI not
work. I have checked the registry and the correct option for
'ForegroundLockTimeout' is set.

But when I open a number of internet explorer pages/links everytime one has
completed loading it grabs focus from what I am reading, surely there must be
a way to fix this problem.

Hi,
I think that the only workaround is to minimize the window you don't want to
see. Or PowerMenu (freeware) from
http://www.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/powermenu/ adds an "always on
top" right-click option, but you'll have to undo it to get back to normal
browsing. There are other similar programs available- some of them free.

Hope this helps,
Don
