I'm no mindreader, so is this XP-64 or Vista-64?? Microsoft has a free utility for XP called TweakUI which, among other things, has a setting to prevent applications from stealing focus. I don't know if this will solve your specific problem, but may be worth a try.  According to this site, you can use XP-64 TweakUI with Vista-64 as long as you set the compatibility mode for TweakUI to XP. Note that the XP-64 version of TweakUI is somebody's modification of the original Microsoft XP-32 TweakUI, and isn't supported by Microsoft. You can download XP-64 TweakUI here I'd strongly advise setting a manual System Restore point before you install TweakUI or use it to make changes, especially since this not a "real" Microsoft product.  :emotion-5: Ron
Hey!I've already spent hours on solving this problem but I haven't got to an end so far. There are many  many topics on the internet describing exactly the same problem but nobody got to a correct answer so far, so isn't Dell doing anything for it's customers??? The thing is that, that when I press the CAPS-Lock-Button, the lock in the lower right corner appears and if this is the case it steals the focus from the active window - annoying!!! This behaviour is definetly because of DELL Quickset as I've already uninstalled it and boom, it doesn't steal focous any moreIt is really annoying if you're playing a game, typing a mail, or writing in Word etc.Quickset just does not give you the preference to change this setting (I have the newest BIOS and Quickset installed, 22/12/09)Of course uninstalling would solve the problem, but I really like the other features Quickset provides (power saving etc.)So is there the possibility to turn off this annoying icon??? (Registry-fix etc.)Hope somebody got the answer or Quickset will be improved to provide this setting in future! Such a small change would make that many customers happy and Dell still isn't doing anything, poor, as it would be a really small change to the program (I know it, as I'm a programmer myself) Thanks in advance, hopefully you know more.
