I used to use BlueCarpet's WinShade v3.01 (the company is gone I think) in Windows 9x, 2000, and XP, but it doesn't work so well on my new Athlon 64 dual core system since some programs don't seem to lose focus (can't click on anymore since it thinks I am clicking on my desktop). I also tried other programs like FreeShade, but it hasn't been updated since 9/26/2001 and some programs don...

In Tweak UI, under General Tab / Focus....... I have UNchecked " Prevent applications from stealing focus." But every few days I have to go and re-UNcheck that option.

The reason I want to do this is to make my users' profiles light enough so that roaming profiles among workstations is easy. Everyone of these users has a home drive mapped to their profile and that's where I want to move the Application Data folder!!! ...

Windows Start sound
What controls the length of time the Windows Start sound plays? I am attempting to use .wav files that run about 1 min 30 secs.

Any of these longer wav files run for a variety of times, never the same, usually stopping between 20 secs and 1 min+. I have booted "vanilla" with almost every TSR shut ...
