    Prioritizing Any Game?


    Why is it that when I have any game running and try to do anything else involving another folder (even trying to drag and drop something out of the recycle bin back onto the desktop) the computer will prioritize showing the game instead of the desktop every single time the new folder is selected? And how can I stop this from happening?

    Just to clarify, I'll have a game running and let's say the recycle bin open. I alt tab or windows key + D out of the game and as soon as I open the recycle bin folder from the task bar the game will immediately open back up with the recycle bin on top of it, instead of having my desktop behind it.
