I hope your test-bed consists of more than one system

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.
