Start app, but not 'in focus' 2

I have a very simple app - one Form reminder that it is a break time. But when it starts it takes a focus from whatever application user is using at that time. So they have to click back on the app they were on, and that's annoying.

I know I can use SendKeys of Alt-Tab or something like that to get back to their app, but is there a better way to start an app, but start it not 'in focus'?


Have fun.

I decline to publish the link....however I will say that it's "Boy Named Sue," and a fine job of it at that.

Interestingly, the words "pedagogy" and "pedestrian" are related.....
