Any way to keep background apps in background??
 

I tend to be a power user and probably like most people
out there always have multiple applications and/or
browser windows open simultaneously. Windows is great for
this. My one big gripe, though: background apps popping
up and becoming active.

Is there any kind of tweak or utility that allows me to
fix this? I want whatever process I'm working on in the
foreground and for it to STAY in the foreground no matter
what other programs are doing in the background. (This
is especially a problem with multiple browser windows)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

THANKS!

Hi Olen,

Several options to consider:

TweakUI/General/Focus
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...loads/powertoy
s.asp

Prevent Programs from Stealing Focus (Line 66)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

When a window that does not have focus is updated by its
program, the
default setting prevents it from becoming the foremost
(top) window,
instead, it flashes in the taskbar.

HeldUp is the easiest way to stop windows from
disappearing behind other
programs. http://www.johnmacintyre.ca/HeldUp.asp
