You're going to have to offer A LOT more information than that if you expect anybody to help you.

Try this and see if it fixes the problem.
Start IE, right click any URL and select Open in a New Window.
Go back to the first IE window you opened and close it.
Return to the second window and manually drag it to fill the screen.
(Do not use the maximize button)
Close this second window, using the close box.
All IE windows should now open maximized.

he's saying that the window of any game he runs will minimize.

Like if you run Anarchy Online in window mode, it'll minimize to the task bar, hence you can't play the game. (ie: as if you ran the game and then clicked minimize to hide it).

I don't know why that would happen...perhaps there is something on the desktop that keeps trying to keep the focus (of the cursor/mouse)

Have you tried running anti-virus software?
