I have a mouse button programed to open "dopus.exe".
I want it to open a lister on the desktop and usually it does but sometimes when another program is open on the desktop the lister doesn't open on the desktop but does appear on the taskbar.
Is there a way I can have the lister always open on the desktop when using the mouse button?

I also have this problem (only when another program is open) and I never found a solution: I end up with the blinking entry on my Taskbar. It only happens when I configure a
keyboard button (HP keyboard) to open a DOpus Lister (See h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu ... e=bph07179 ). But DOpus does come to
the foreground when I use a global hotkey to start DOpus (also when another program is open).
BTW: I found one other post, but i'm not sure if this is the same problem: [DOpus starts always in the background)
Do you get the same problem with other programs you launch via the same method?
It sounds like the launching tool isn't giving the things it launches the focus. (It's up to the launching app to let the launched app take the focus.)
Leo, you are right: When I launch (for example) notepad.exe via the same method, I get the same result (blinking entry on my Taskbar).
But using a Global DOpus Hotkey is a good (and working) alternative. 
Thanks Christiaan and Leo.
I'll put up with the mouse key the way it is for now plus try to get used to using the hotkey.

Depending on your mouse software, you might be able to program it to push a hotkey which you configure as a global hotkey in Opus.
That way Opus should handle launching the command and giving focus away and it might work around the problem in the mouse software.

Yes, Leo. Your "global hotkey in Opus" idea is working prefectly.
