could just uninstall IE? _ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M@ Bourke Sent: Thursday, 8 May 2008 12:12 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] OT internet exploder Hi All, Sorry for the off topic question but this does effect my cf development I've googled hard for this over the years and I've had enough of it is there a way to stop IE from auto popping up when a window finishes loading. it is s annoying its a massive drain on development productivity (this happens atleast 300 times a day). I need to have it and firefox open as well as other programs generally with firefox I hit refresh then open another window and start coding etc how ever when ever i do it with IE it always jumps up as I'm in the middle of coding or clicking on link in firefox and it makes me accidentally click on links in IE (not to mention how bad this is for security) as it jumps up then I gotta wait 5 minutes for it to load etc and get back to where I was. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world with this issue, so does anyone know if there is a way to have internet explorer simply stay minimized when I minimize it how they think its a good idea is beyond me, typical MS crud. I don't think Barnes could even sell this as a good idea :P Cheers M@ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: OT internet exploder
Nah not an option sorry, our application is used by over 300 government clients who all use IE. unfortunately there is some old IE hacks which are slowly getting removed. but thats one of the sad things about the app. its got some whacked html in it and its also cf 6.1. we are slowly moving it all to be more standards based and to cf8 how ever to move it to cf8 we need to buy over 1,000 coldfusion licenses, which will be a few million $'s worth of cf licenses lol. we need to get every client running it before we use any new features lol I wonder if Adobe will give us a free T-shirt lol Due to the government being slow with FF there was no need in the past to move to standards based development. anyway, now I'm rambling.

Hi Kay, Nothing bad installed except for Windows XP and IE7, they seem to be the only poorly designed software on the system. It's like IE is designed so the window gets auto focused when the page finishes loading. I can't remember if IE6 used to do it.

[cfaussie] Re: OT internet exploder
I just tested this using Vista SP1 IE7. It doesn't happen, unless your explaining it wrong. I go to a browser hit refresh, swap to something else, and wait to see if it pops forward, and it doesn't. Can't say I've ever seen this behaviour either, probably also why you can't find it on google, as perhaps it is just something on your system. You could just do a simple test from another computer.

[cfaussie] Re: OT internet exploder
yeah thanks for the help/tip, I'll check it out on a diff computer and if its only whacked on mine then I'll chat to our tech support guys, if its all PC's then I'll maybe use it as a pick up line Saturday nights so, isn't it annoying how IE just jumps up at ya during the week...

[cfaussie] Re: OT internet exploder
Nope, Tried that just now also. Hit refresh, Alt Tab to another program, IE does NOT popup. Perhaps Scott fixed it while you weren't looking.

[cfaussie] Re: OT internet exploder
It sounds like IE is setup as the default browser. For instance if when you did the FireFox install you set it to be your default browser it would have worked fine for a while until perhaps your next SOE upgrade reset IE as the default. Just a thought.
