Would anyone know of a way to keep new pages from stealing the active page
upon opening? It is terriably frustrating to have to keep chasing the active
page as new pages open. I'm running XP on an ACER and our systems tend to be
slow because of our hardware combinations. It is not unsual for me to be
working in one docu and decide I need info from another docu or docus or web
site, go start those pages opening and go back to my active page, all without
loosing my train of thought - until the other pages finally start opening and
stealing my active page. After I have chased my active page and brought it
back a couple times it is not unsual for me to have lost my train of thought.
As if that isn't bad enough, reopening my active page is not simply clicking
its icon on the toolbar. Even though my active page's icon is still lit up on
the tool bar, the new page has replaced my active page and is open on the
screen. To get back to my active page I must first click and open some other
page then click back to my active page. It is a long, drawn out, train of
thought busting process. Perhaps it would be smarter to simply start the new
openings and go get a cup of coffee, but that is about as antiproductive as
chasing my active page all over the place. Everything would be so much less
complicated (and a whole bunch less frustrating) if opening pages simply did
not steal the active page. All ideas, comments, and suggestions will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks K.
