Does somebody know, what registry setting PowerToys changes when one selects
General => Focus => "prevent applications from stealing the focus"?
Since a while I seem to have some app, that keeps changing this setting (but
I haven't been able to figure out, which one, yet) and it drives me nuts
that each alert or popup immediately grabs the keyboard focus while I am
typing along...
I am going to write me some utility that forces that setting every couple of
minutes. But I first need to find out, WHAT that key is, that I need to
force-set (or -reset).
Are You sure they have changed the setting ?
I have an editor that some times pops up a dialog which have a
setting called MB_SYSTEMMODAL aposed to MB_APPLMODAL and that kind
of dialog steels the focus no matter what, if this is the case
You should complain to te software vendor and make them change it
unless of course it realy is a system critical error.
Kind regards
