    Re: make another program window focused

    The 'Shell' command defaults to minimized if you don't supply the second parameter.

    The second parameter takes an enumerated type such as vbMinimized, vbMaximizedFocus etc - a window should popup with the list of available options when you type a ',' after the program name (or just check the help that comes with vb).
