I run Excel 2003, Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8.

I have a macro which quietly drives Internet Explorer.
When the macro has been waiting for a long time for a response from IE,
it does IE.Visible = True so the user can see what is happening and
displays a message for a short time with
Set sh = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
sh.Popup "Internet Explorer wait > 5 seconds", 3, "Temp message"
The z order <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_order> is set
spreadsheet < popup < ie. i.e. spreadsheet under popup under ie.
(MsgBox behaves in the same way as sh.Popup.)
How do I make it,
spreadsheet < ie < popup.

More serious is that the taskbar z order seems to be set
taskbar < spreadsheet.
I have "Auto-hide the taskbar" set and struggle to see the taskbar.
How do I display the window names and their z-order positions?
How do I control the z-order across applications?
