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! |

HeldUp is the easiest way to stop windows from disappearing behind other programs. http://www.johnmacintyre.ca/HeldUp.asp -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "Olen Ronning" wrote in message ...
