    Hi All I have an application "A" which is active and there's an application "B" getting activated behind the application "A". ( A's window is not the parent of B ) . In WinNT, I'm able to bring the application B's window to the foreground. But, In Win2K Professional, the API - SetActiveWindow / SetForeGroundWindow doesn't seem to work. Is there any otehr round about way to fix this, Pl. sugegst me. Thanks regards Sankar

      On Win2K there is a registry setting which can be used to set it so that apps will be prevented from being made active [even though their task bar icons will start flashing] This is a per-user setting that works only on Win2K as far as I know. I dont remember the registry key, but you can use TweakUI to set or unset this setting Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut
