That may be but one thing about this way, it also works with other programs as well. Basically, I was used to the focus staying where I left it last time. The new way was making me do things in one window thinking I was doing it in another window. When doing some things, I change desktops a lot. Like now, I'm copying names from IMDB on one desktop, moving to another desktop to update the file name there. Then repeating. As it is with this setting, focus doesn't change unless I click something to change it. Now that I think about it, I'm going to move the web browser with IMDB open to the top monitor above where the file manager is open and my files are. Save me so much clicking. Plus, that's why I got the second monitor. ;-) Some times my brain . . . . . . Dale :-) :-)
