Yeah, go back to Windows XP. :-)

Sorry... couldn't resist.

Vista SP1 is available? Anything special I need to do other than run
Windows Update?

#2 on my list is when Windoze decides to re-arrange/delete desktop
icons.
Most recent was with Vista SP1 install, All the icons I had on my right
hand monitor moved to the left, all icons on the left monitor were
re-arranged into alphabetical order AND the shortcuts/icons on my
desktop for FF, Opera and Netscape got deleted.....

I really really REALLY hate applications that steal focus.

You mean to tell me it's not just Lotus Notes?

If it helps, I have had some success with TweakUI, part of Microsoft's

free PowerToys. There's a setting that allows you to control whether
applications can steal focus. I'd say it works most of the time.
Inexplicably, seemingly at random, the setting gets reset. I know
this because, all of a sudden, Lotus Notes will steal focus on me, and

I'll go to check TweakUI and, sure enough, it's been reset.

Like others have expressed, it is unexcusable that something in the
popup can be "activated" without some user-confirmed action. Maybe
only a mouse-click should be able to activate a response. Wouldn't
that take care of most of the problems?
