What is your Favourite Windows Explorer App in Win7-10?

[David Hess]

My current problem with Windows Explorer is that it has a habit of stealing focus.  My conversation with Microsoft Technical support went something like:

Me: "How do you stop a program from stealing focus?"
Microsoft: "You will have to contact the manufacturer and ask them to fix it."
Me: "The program is Windows File Explorer.   You are the manufacturer."
Microsoft: "..."

You can take a look at this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c22363e5-802c-4f43-b4e3-8a7259865648/windows-10-stop-any-application-from-stealing-focus-ever-is-it-possible?forum=win10itprogeneral#123b4fea-0a57-491d-bdfa-a5ee0771f2de

Funnily enough, there used to be a setting in Windows for preventing background apps to steal focus, IIRC it was in Windows NT, then 2000, then XP (and Server 2003), and was removed in Vista and later. Any background app willing to get in the foreground would just flash in the taskbar, but stay in the background.

That made no difference; wWindows File Explorer still steals focus.
