pissing me off:

i am surfing the net using IE and i have more than one IE window opened at a time. in one window, i click on a link and the page starts to load. i then click over to the other window to and start surfing from there but as soon as the page in the other window loads, IE puts that window back on top. this is really pissing me off. can i disable this feature? i want the page to load but when i click over to another window, i don't want the first window to be automatically placed on top again. what can i do to disable this?

Use Opera instead (yeah, I know it sounds dumb hehe). Anyway, Opera seems like a great browser since it readers pages really quickly and has nifty shortcuts etc. Check it out at http://www.opera.com (free & small download).

Ok I got an other question...
At some websites IE just hangs... don't know why but it loads half page and then **Bang** it hangs... can someone explain or help me with this ?

DoomBringer... It's just because MSIE sucks... Even though I use it too (temporarily... at home I got an NT machine).

the partial solution:
install Opera. it's only drawback is poor java and vbscript support, which makes it unable to display some pages (like my favorite chess at pogo.com)

the solution:
install w2000 or windows nt. they are at least more stable. windows me is the same shit as 95/98

the COMPLETE solution:
istall the Linux, for Christ's sake. RedHat or Debian. They hardly ever crash. If you have money, buy Sun with Solaris. It NEVER crashes.

in the world with no walls, why do we need Windows?
in the world with no fences, why do we need Gates?

Ehm... ok I never heard of all that Sh*t you wrote there
Hehe... okay heard of linux but that doesn't matter.

i'm using netscape now... it's allright... for now.

Thanx anyway

What the hell are u guys talking about???
Netscape Sucks!!!!!!!!!!
It can't even read tables properly, or frames, or images, or java.........

It sucks!!!

The should close down Netscape instead of Napster, it's really pissing some people off.

Yep... Netscape sucks... but IE hangs on some pages over here... and that pretty much suck.
So I need a second browser --> Netscape

ie is just ok

netscape sucks now because almost all the pages are designed to be displayed in MSIE, and Navigator interpretes border, margin, cellpadding, spacing and all the other tags of placement a little bit differently. That's why you see pages in Netscape not in the way they were planned out. If you would visit the page designed especially for Netscape, it would be displayed in IExplorer in the wrong way too.

Netscape had it's time in the spotlight from 1995-1998 or so... They had a HUGE advantage of microsoft but their browser has generally been the same shit since version 3.x - it just doesn't have that 'clean' feel to it..

Netscape 6.x is a weak attempt at gaining a little more market share... -- too little, too late.

As a sidenote all the tables/CSS on this site look like a piece of shit when viewed in Netscape - some of it is barely readable.. the tables stuff I can understand - but not reading CSS right? how lame.

Ok, a little bit complicated, done through the registry, but this is the only way known by me...

To do what you are talking about (to disable the automatic focus pop-up) you should modify two values, depending on the way you would like applications to take the focus. The first setting controls whether applications simply steal the focus, that is pop-up over the existing in focus window, or if instead they wait in the background and flash the taskbar icon. The second setting controls the flashing of the icon.

Open your registry using the program Regedt32 (and not the simple regedit), located in the System32 folder and find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

Create a new DWORD value named 'ForegroundLockTimeout', or modify it, if it already exists. Change the value to either the timeout required, or to '0' which causes the application to take the focus instantly. The default value is '200000' (0x00030d40 hex). I don't know the relation... The default computer clock metrics use milliseconds so 200000 should be 200 seconds, but it seems to be a large timeout. Probably, it's microseconds. Put an infinetely large number for the problem to be partially solved (pitifully, there is no way to stop the application from taking the focus and popping-up at all... The only way you can go around is to change the timeout before it pops up)

The other settings affects the number of times the icon flashes if above value was not set to zero.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'ForegroundFlashCount' set the value (in decimal) to the number times to flash the taskbar icon, setting the value to '0' cases the icon to flash infinitely. The default value is '3'.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart for the changes to take effect.

But always remember: modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk. Moreover, don't even try to do it if you have questions like "What is the registry".
