Hi,

When I click on a LiveEdit link, the document is opening well with Office but the window doesn't get the focus on screen : the user doesn't see the window (which is behind the browser) and he thinks that it doesn't work.

Is there a configuration to resolve this annoying problem in enterprise environnment ?

This is my configuration:

1. Windows 7 64 bits
2. Office 2010 64 bits
3. IE8 or Firefox 21 (same behaviour)
4. LiveEdit 2.4.5 64bits

I found a fix which seems to work pretty well, based on this article :

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/new-browser-window-always-open-in-background/f82c2086-551e-43c4-9c26-aa3364b4b1a7";

I had to modify a key in the registry :

1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
2. Modify this variable: ForegroundLockTimeout
3. Put '0' instead of '200000'
4. Reboot

It worked for Windows XP, 7 and Office 32bits and 64bits
