Windows Explorer maximizes over XL 2000, if opened w/ explorer

Hi,

A user is having an odd problem when he tries to open an Excel file with
windows explorer. When he clicks on the file with explorer, it opens, but
within a few seconds the windows explorer maximizes over the Excel app. It
has started doing this recently, and no changes have been made to the
computer. Is there a way to stop it from taking the desktop over, and have
Excel take focus of the desktop?
BTW, we are running Windows NT 4.0.

Try this:

Tools > Options > General

Ensure Ignore Other Applications is not checked.

Thanks, did the trick
