Please, I still need help on this

[Tony]

I am also posting to other XP groups in the hope that someone can help me...

I've been running XP Pro for over six months, but only recently have I
noticed that if I have a number of overlapping windows, clicking on the
title bar of a lower window will not raise the window. The title bar color
WILL change on the lower window, but it will not raise until I go BACK to
the upper-most window, click that one, and then go to the desired window and
click on it again. It will then raise to the top. It didn't used to do this.
I have all the Critical Updates, Automatic Install has been disabled from
Day 1. I'm behind a router and firewall, and IE6 Security settings have been
tweaked to a more stringent state. I've run AdAware and the like and have
found nothing.

This seems to be a setting problem, but neither Desktop nor Power Toys XP
seems to have the same number of Window control options as in Win98SE. Any
thoughts on how to fix this?

Are you using any third party desktop programs? I can think of a few
(Windowblinds, for example) that can add an "always on top" option. There's
usually a little extra button in the title bar or status bar of the open
window (not one of the default Windows buttons) that allows you to toggle
the feature on or off.

No. I'm afraid not. Is there a Registry entry for this?

None that I know of. Sorry.
