Start Menu Minimized When Program Minimizes Itself

ID: Q155186

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows 95

SUMMARY

If the Start menu is open when a program minimizes itself, the Start menu is also minimized.

MORE INFORMATION

This is a desktop focus issue. When a program minimizes itself, it takes the focus from the desktop, causing the Start menu to be minimized.

The Start menu will therefore also collapse anytime an application takes the focus; e.g. when an application minimizes, starts up, returns results after processing in the background, etc.
