    Angry *resolved*Under WinXP-Pro, IE steals focus from other IE windows when page downloaded



    This is sooo annoying.
    Once a page has downloaded, that instance of IE steals focus from whatever else has focus.
    This is such a pain in the hole when you're doing a few things at the same time - eg. opening a page while filling out a form.

    Does anyone know off-hand if there's a setting in XP or IE to stop it doing this ?
    I don't know XP all that well because I only installed it the day before yesterday...
