Haven't seen that behaviour on any of the SP2 boxes I've been involved
with.  You haven't got some application running in the background that's
"stealing" focus have you - maybe some AV software or something like
that that loads at startup?

	Unfortunately, the notorious Microsoft Mammoth is still holding
on to it's ever persistent image of wreaking havoc on O/S's!  With the
latest update from our esteemed "Rulers", XP now has an added
"Undocumented feature" of losing focus on applications - Even on logging
in.  
	 
	e.g.  Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the logon dialog box - The
text will flash three times and then lose focus.  Open up a copy of IE,
Same thing - Three flashes and then poof, lost focus and not only that,
but if you happen to minimize you currently active screen, you cannot
click on the toolbar to bring up any previous windows until you minimize
the 'new' active screen??
	 
	But ... We need not worry though,
	For Microsoft keep on raking in the dough.
