Can I "Lock" Photoshop CS3 and Bridge Together ?

Question

I like to have Photoshop and Bridge open together.
However, every time I click on the Bridge interface, either accidentally or to reposition it etc. Photoshop vanishes and I have to bring it back.
Whilst it is not a terrible malfunction it is irritating and it never occurred with the Browser in Photoshop Elements 2.
Is it possible to lock them together so that PS will never disappear ?

Answer 1

Adobe has already very conveniently linked Bridge and Photoshop together for you, in several ways other than window clicking and other than what OS X provides.
On the File menu in Photoshop, there's a "Browse" command that goes to Bridge. In Bridge, there's a "Return to Adobe Photoshop" command. That sounds odd but here's the thing: They use the same keyboard shortcut, Command+Option+O. So if you learn that one single shortcut, you can flip between Bridge and Photoshop instantly. I use Command+Tab a lot too, but that can be a pain if you have a lot of apps open. Command+Option+O is a direct express route between Photoshop and Bridge.
If you prefer mouse clicks, when you're in Photoshop you can get to Bridge by clicking the Go To Bridge button in the options bar at the top of the screen. From Bridge to Photoshop, of course you just double-click the file you want to open in Photoshop.
Bridge also has File > Close and Go To Bridge (Command+Shift+W), which is great if you finished editing a file and want to get to the next file in the folder. Just hit Command+Option+W, Photoshop closes the file and pops you back to Bridge, you hit the arrow key to get to the next file, hit Return and boom you're back in Photoshop with the new file.
The links are all there and ready to go.
