    I usually have a few IE windows open, and they all fight for the focus, and I really hate that. Anyone know of a way in win2k to stop having the stupid application stealing the focus from what your currently viewing?

    It reall is a pain in the a**!

    Thumbs down Well...

    Sometimes it's actually HTML that programs the window to switch anytime it updates...Sucks, I know.
    While this is little of a remedy, I use keyboard shortcuts so often that I hardly notice when it happens. Alt-Tab will switch you through windows in order from most-recent to least-recent...So if one window updates, a single Alt-Tab should bring you back to where you were.

    Cool

    If you use the latest version of TweakUI, you can prevent it from happening. By the way, the newest version is 1.33 in case you didn't know. Good luck!
