Wow — I just learned there is a Windows XP PowerToy from Microsoft called TweakUI that lets you prevent apps from “stealing focus,” i.e. jumping to the top of screen no matter what you are doing in another window. This is a huge productivity gain for me! I hate the way XP allows apps to steal focus by default.
