Prevent focus window opening

Hi,
I am at the moment entering a large number of individuals into a mini one-name file (Project). At the moment not many relationships are known, so it's mostly a long list.
I like to work with the property box open in front of the records window (so that I can keep my eye on any duplications/interesting things, etc.) I don't generally use the focus window.
Is there any way I can prevent the focus window from opening over the records window when I add each new person, please? I can't find one but hope there might be...
Thanks, and hope this makes sense

Have you tried ticking Tools > Preferences > Startup > Display the Records Window at Startup ?

No, I tried that and does not help.

In the Records Window, right-click on blank area and use New Individual, then double click that entry to open Property Box.

Yes, I'd tried the first idea, no luck.
The second idea works, much quicker, many thanks, just what I needed.
