Lately when I'm on the net and have 2 or more IE browser screens open. If I select another website then while it's loading I go to the other IE screen, it keeps reverting to the first screen that's loading even after I manually go back to the screen I want to look at. Does that make sense???
It never used to do this. Is there somehow I can stop this

Thanks in advance

the same thing happens to me, only worse - no matter what I open, winamp, notepad, word, flashget, AIM, the IE window always jumps on top of all whenever it loads something, and it's so annoying when it comes to pop-ups...
There must be a solution to it... if not, I'll have to try to remove IE6 cause my nerves don't worth it!

I have IE6 with the tweak set. What I do to prevent an IE window from jumping in front after it's loaded is the only thing I have found to work.

When the IE window opens to start loading, I minimize it. It stays there on the Taskbar and doesn't jump in front until I bring it up.

I tried both minimizing and this stuff in the link that bfairchild gave me. None of them seemed to help. Minimizing still bring the IE window to "active" and other windows are in "passive". I changed the things in the registry but they just didn't help. Thanks for trying to help anyway.
