    Perhaps others will be having similar problems, so I thought I would document my experiences here.
    Recently my newly set up system started having problems starting MP in full screen mode.
    Sometimes after MP finished initializing the focus would switch to the flashing MP icon on the taskbar, stealing the focus from MP itself. After (unsuccessfully) trying a few other workarounds (like auto-hiding the taskbar), I came across the (simple) solution described in this thread.
    There is some more background information here and here, in case anyone is interested.
