Preventing Programs from Stealing Focus

Here's a tip on how to prevent other applications in Windows XP from stealing the focus and popping up in front of other applications.

- Open Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop

- Change the value of the 'ForegroundLockTimeout' key to 00030d40.
