Hello,
Is there a Windows keyboard shortcut that will bring a program into
focus? Often when I start my browser via its loader (I don't use
Internet Explorer), it will be out of focus. Is there a shortcut key
that will bring the browser (and other programs) into focus, so I
don't have to reach for the mouse?

Try holding the alt key and "tab"bing through the processes.

Yes, the Alt+Tab keys, of course. Thanks, Bill. :-)

You're welcome. It's strange for a program to launch and not retain focus however.

One way this can happen is if you launch the browser from a batch file
using the Start /m command.

Good point. I wonder what Iceman meant by "start my browser via its loader".
