Keep Lobby

It would always annoy me the way that Party Poker's lobby would minimize whenever I opened a table. Often I would want to open more than one table, needing to click the lobby on the taskbar to bring it back in to view. This was even more annoying when several tables were open already, making it harder to identify the lobby's taskbar entry.

This was one of the first scripts I wrote, and all it does is look out for a minimized Party / Empire / Stars / Ultimate Bet lobby, and should it find one - restore it to it's rightful state, in plain view.

Hopefully others will find this useful, despite it's simplicity, I certainly do.

Party / Empire / Stars / Ultimate Bet should be started before running this script - If there is no lobby to be found, it will exit. Also, should you close the lobby, this script will exit.

Enjoy,

dave.

If you only play on Stars

If you only play on Stars, there is a simpler way to achieve this; add one line to the c/Program Files/PokerStars/user.ini file under [options]:

MinimizeLobby=0

If you play other sites and want a single solution to address them all, use the script on this page.
