Full Screen Window on second screen minimizes when windows explorer opens..

Question

I did implement a full screen window on my second screen (it's a feature needed by my application)
When I open windows explorer (I'm on windows XP), or when I click in a windows explorer window, the second screen window is minimized, even if explorer pops in the first screen.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Any help would be appreciated...

I suppose that you have this exception when the second window is initiated...
Excuse my remark, it may be perfectly stupid : do you have two screens? The full screen window is supposed to show itself on the user's second screen.
Or maybe the screens are not handled the same way on each computer? (I'm not used at developping applications working on two screens...)
thanks for your help
