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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=568143518-11082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>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??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
