Whenever I open any program on my laptop, the program opens up without focus. I have to click the program window in order to gain focus. If I have another window open already, the new window will open behind the existing one. This happens with every program that I've tried, whether or not I have anything else open at the time.
Some programs that this happens with:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Notepad++
- Pidgin
- Full-screen video games
The only time I don't see this problem is when I open up a Windows folder. Those open up with focus just fine. How can I make it so all programs automatically get focus when I open them?
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1501.
