Hi,

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.
