New applications I launch don't always have the system focus on startup. For
some, I don't mind them NOT having the focus immediately on startup (and sitting on the taskbar if I am already working with another application), but for others I do. Where and what settings/values should I tweak? Vista Home Basic here. Thanks in advance. //LJ |

Whether or not a program will gain focus will depend on whether it requests
it or not. I don't know of any global setting that will "force" focus upon an opened program. "LJ" <lernoy> wrote in message news:5828 [..] |

Thanks in advance. //LJ You could check the value your have for 'ForegroundLockTimeout' at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop Mentioned, for example, here TIP - Stop Applications in Windows Stealing Focus http://proreviewer.com/2008/04/04/ti...tealing-focus/ The default value is 0, I think. |
