I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Frequently, new windows open BEHIND existing windows. If I can grab the top of the new window, I can drag it. However, I cannot bring it to the top. Any fixes out there?

Hi One of the features that I missed in both Windows 7 and 8 was the ability to make the task-bar stay beneath program windows. I have several programs that have controls very close to the bottom of the screen, and it's really a pain to have the task bar keep popping up every time I try...

Hi everybody ::- ). One thing which has me perpetually angry at the ALT+TAB application selection window in Windows 7, is that after a time (about 1 second) it hides the window I triggered it from, replacing it with the window of the currently selected application. So let's say I'm typing...

Heyo! After some research, I'm pretty sure my problem is called Focus Stealing, I've looked at a bunch of forums/threads on the internet but each seem to have individual symptoms etc so the fix to someone's problem is not the same fix to someone else's. This is probably going to be a long...

Win7 has a about 50-75 problems, yet instead of MS spending time fixing it, they made an even worse OS (win8). MS trolling us? ....Why is it so hard for win7 to open up applications in the active window? Its the window im using, its the window that launched the app, yet MS feels the need to...

Hello all, First things first... please dont' flame due to the OSX-ness of my desktop, I'm a software developer and rotate between Windows, Linux and OS X on a daily basis. I've taken bits of all three to comprise my desktop for what I like best. Anyways... I am wondering if you can disable the...

Hello! I'm not sure but I think I have this problem after extending the C drive with Easeus's partition manager. When I move some window it doesn't move with the Windows 7 style but something like Windows 98 style. Link Removed It's not a big problem but I really don't like it so I hope someone...

When I open a window (let's say Firefox for example) then open a second Firefox window, the second window appears about a centimeter to the right of the first one. For certain tasks I do, this is quite annoying. How can I make Windows open instances directly on top of one another?

I'm used to W7 remembering the last known positions of all of my open windows, but lately (and I can't recall what change may have prompted this) every window opens in a maximized state, and upon restoring it, always sizes down to the default window size, jammed right into the upper-left corner...
