any Windows pros out there to help with this annoyance? - BLINGMW - 01-24-2006
You know what honestly is the main thing I dislike about Windows? XP, 2000, 98, whatever, they've all done it. When I'm launching an application or opening another window, but working in a window or application that's already open, every time the background window has something going on, it jumps to the front. I click back. It jumps up again, "I'm almost done loading! Use me!" NO DIE BITCH I'LL GET TO YOU WHEN I'M GOOD AND READY. So I'm trying to type something and it keeps getting screwed up.
Any of you seen a hack or fix for this? It bugs the hell out of me. Always has.

windows PowerToys had a mouse focus utility that worked similar to *nix window managers where the focus would always follow your mouse. Not sure if it works on 2k or xp though. try googling it
personally i found it extremely annoying

Also on powertoys is Tweak UI that has an option that prevents programs from "stealing focus"

This bugs the hell out of me too - I had no idea you could change that. Thanks for the tips guys.

Holy crap, you guys rock. It works! Although I wish you could set the menu bar to flash NO times, it's still a big improvement. And it looks like there's all kinds of other fun stuff in there for me to mess with later. YAY!
