I have an issue with IE7 that used to occur back in IE 5 and probably even 6
without a registry hack. If i have multiple Internet Explorer windows open
and I load a page on one, it keeps popping up in the foreground even if I am
working in a different window. For example, if I am checking my mail in one
instance of the program and I open a new instance to view a different page
but I want to continue reading my mail while waiting for that second page to
load, I can't. Every time I click back to the mail screen and new content
loads in the background page, it automatically becomes the active screen.
This is a very frustrating behavior. Does anybody know of a way to change
this?

Disregard this post...the TOC on the MS site pointed me here instead of to
the Windows group. I re-posted there. Thanks.
