Hi!
I wonder if anyone has experienced this and can help!?
If I minimise SL to the desktop, open another application and then close that application, as soon as the other app is closed, SL automatically restores itself without me clicking on the icon in the Taskbar.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, and with PowerToys, which has a setting to prevent apps from stealing focus, This setting is turned on!
Any suggestions please?

Hmm I dunno how to stop whats happening, but my advice is to play SL in a window if you're not already..

Oh jeez, I hate this. I always run SL full-screen (just can't stand not having the full screen size available), and yeah... any time I try to do anything in another window, SL always keeps fighting its way back to the foreground. Sometimes when I start applications, it fights its way back three or four separate times before I can finally make it intot he application. I think this is actually a problem with Windows... it seems to always want SOME app to be in the foreground. I wonder if LL can work around that.

Lol!
It is annoying isn't it?!
I'm not sure if it is a Windows problem though, since it only happens with SL. Windows can't need and app in the foreground, otherwise nobody would ever be able to get to the desktop!
Perhaps the Linden's can shed some light on this?

Well, I'm not sure it only happens with SL... I seem to remember having similar problems with other full-screen apps.
