Thats funny... and it is very satisfying to know that many of us face similar problems on a daily basis :-)

(There isn't actually any such Windows configuration option - you're probably thinking of the single-click option in Windows Explorer, but that doesn't change the way clicks work globally in the system, it just changes the way Explorer interprets a single click.) This particular app had a small main window and a large options dialog. He was double-clicking the OK button! The first click dismissed the dialog, and the second click landed on some other window, bringing it to the top. -Mike (With apologies to anyone who is tired of the off-topic diversion...
