Recently I moved over to WIN7, all is working fine but one tiny thing. After WIN7 boots up from power down or restarts, mp is automatic launched and started. That's al good but WIN7's taskbar orb icon in the far down left of the screen stays on top. No matter what settings are used for MP or the taskbar it stays there, stealing all focus execpt the green button with switches between MP home and basic. MP is very very unresponsive this way. It can be solved by simple one mouse click somewhere in MP and than it stays that way no matter what until I restart the mediacenter. Focus is still on MP after standby.

I have no clue how to solve it. It's no big deal exept for the wife and kids when they have to restart MP (wich is almost never needed).

(Oh bye the way, MPtray doesn't work under WIN7) it did a good job under win vista getting focus back.)

AW: MP loosing focus under WIN7

Hi folks!
I came across this old post because I was having the same issue. It's the imon Manager "stealing" the focus as soon as the minidisplay plugin is started.

A working solution can be found here:
