Outlook loses focus to IE6 when a web page is updated.

Greetings from the land of Oz.

I have this most annoying problem.

Happens when I have Outlook (Outlook 2000 SR-1) and IE6 open at the same time.

If I am doing anything in Outlook (composing, reading etc), and a web page is updated in IE6, focus changes to the IE6 web page. This is very annoying, especially when reading mail messages.

I'm running Windows XP.

This only happens between IE6 and Outlook, other prgrams are unaffected (remain focused).

I have loaded Tweakui for XP, which stops IE6 switching between updating web pages, but it doesn't stop IE6 from stealing focus from Outlook.
