When you switch to a given window, that window is said to be *in focus.* Some applications like to steal program focus. This can be annoying if you are trying to get work done, and have an app that you need running constantly stealing focus from the one you're using to get your job done. To address this problem, you can edit the registry to change how the system handles application focus. >> CLICK for the full tip... http://www.searchWin2000.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci818731,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MEMBER FEEDBACK: MORE ON REDEDIT AND REGEDT32 | by Serdar Yegulalp Reader Lenny Gemar sent us this comment regarding last week's admin tip, "The difference between REGEDIT and REGEDT32:" "While I agree with the article, one facet you missed is the Find function. In REGEDIT, you can search the entire registry or just a hive, based on the Explorer-like interface. REGEDT32 only allows you to search one HKEY at a time. Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't figured out how to duplicate that search ability in REGEDT32." >> CLICK to read Serdar Yegulalp's response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci818754,00.html?FromTaxonomy=/pr/5e3 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WEAKEST LINK: WHAT KILLS PERFORMANCE? | by SearchWindowsManageability IT managers reveal the weakest link that slows down systems and makes performance management a hassle. >> CLICK for the full tip... http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid33_gci817566,00.html ____________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= OOPS!
