Hi,
the "Prevent applications from stealing focus" feature of TweakUI may help.

TweakUI for Windows 98, ME, 2000
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp

TweakUI for XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

For XP, the VBS script at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
(Line #66 right-side) makes the same registry edit as TweakUI for XP.

If these tweaks don't help (they're not 100% reliable) minimizing other
windows should keep them out of sight.

Hope this helps,
Don
