anyone know if there is a way to hack AIM or its registry to make the popup windows of new messages stop? like being minimized to the taskbar as other programs do? or at least, not stealing the keyboard focus to be the active window? this is REALLY annoying!

i believe theres an option in the powertoys add-on for windows that will let u disable any programs from coming to the front. i use xp and never have them popping up, even without changing anything. what os are u on?
win2k… what is the powertoys add-on? and shouldn’t there be a way PER PROGRAM to disable this type of hostile focus takeover functionality?
they should have a feature like this within aim. but anyway, the ‘powertoy’ i was referring to is for windows xp. but an older version of it can be found here http://download.com.com/3000-2341-2830963.html?tag=lst-0-1 it says that it works with windows 2000 so you can give it a try. its called tweakui and basically just lets you access settings that you normally may not be able to. im not sure exactly where the settings for programs stealing focus is, but if you look around your sure to find it.
