    programs open in the background with hotkeys


    i use a microsoft natural 4000 keyboard with programmable hot keys, if i am using a program ( media player / IE / a game ) and i use a hotkey to load a program ( firefox / another game / email ) it always opens in the background under the current window.

    anyway to make the hotkey item become the main window ?

    O.S. is 7 ultimate 64bit,

    thanks.

    Hi locyta and welcome to Windows 7 Forums

    Have a look at this and apply the same principle to the programs you are having trouble with. It is possible that it might be resolved by a subsequent keyboard driver update.
