These seem to pop open frequently: ms anti-spyware notices, security verifications such as hosts file updates/executable file enablement/etc., and others. I can see them behind other windows, but cannot find a way to give them focus or list those currently active. They make it difficult to read the windows I am working with, and I would like to deal with the issue they are notifying me of. How do I access balloon windows short of trying to trap them behind another application's window? Thanks, Jeff
