could this have something to do with what 'Tweak UI' calls 'Stealing of Focus'? The registry value HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout takes care of that. Setting it to 0 means that programs are allow to steal focus. I think this started with Win2K. Setting it to a large value (default is 0x30d40) get's you a flashing taskbar icon when a program tries to steal focus. Cheers, Paul.
