Ooh, I'm impressed. Now set it up to use a focus-follows-pointer, don't top on focus model. Right. You can't. Bill likes click-to-focus, focus-window-on-top, so that is obviously *the right way.* You can move the "start" menu -- big deal. Mine just pops up when I click MB3, so it's always where I need it, and out of my face when I don't need it. The MS Windows "desktop manager" sucks, no two ways about it. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters Softweyr LLC http://www.xmission.com/~softweyr softweyr@xmission.com
