Strange behaviour on some of the XP Pro machines we have running at my site.
Users are reporting that the programs they are currently using appear to lose the focus quite regularly through the day. Generally they have 3 or 4 progs running simultaneously. Its not really a big problem (ie they just click back to there required prog) but they all keep moaning at me and at present I cant give a reason for this. Dont think its tied down to a specific program and the programs they are using seem to be quite random)
Anyone had similar problems ?

You can install Tweak UI. Once installed, go to
Start > Programs > PowerToys > TweakUI > General > Focus and
place a check next to "Prevent applications from stealing focus".
