When I tested it, the Windows taskbar does indeed come to the front, but there's not much that can be done there, as there's no way for us to prevent the Windows taskbar from setting itself on top ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#5 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:52:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#5 DisplayFusion Hi Keith
Thanks your your help Yes it does bring the mouse out of the Media Center windows. When you did it - did it leave the task bar showing on the Media Center Windows ? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#4 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:20:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#4 DisplayFusion Ok, I've just done some testing, and it looks like all you need to do to get the mouse cursor out of the full screen Windows Media Center window is press Alt+Tab. That will focus another application, allowing you to move the mouse out, while leaving WMC running.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#3 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:57:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#3 DisplayFusion Thanks Keith ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#2 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:39:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/media-center-mouse-trapped/?ID=8c23d91a-9f77-4705-9f42-5f0ef88477b4#2 DisplayFusion It may be possible to do this by using the Prevent Window Deactivation Function in a Window Location rule for Windows Media Center. I'll do some testing here and I'll post an update as soon as I have some more news.

If Media Center is in a window - no problems - Is there a way to overcome this please
Thanks
