What Tweak UI usually does is poke the registry for you. I could not find this option in Tweak UI. Do you have a more recent version?

Win2k and XP both have that feature. Although I don't think it applies to alert messages just running programs. TweakUI can configure this setting.

This has been a bug bear for me for ages too! Particularly annoying when you're typing an e-mail about a system problem and another alert pops up....ting ting ting as you finish typing the word, and then space bar....doh! the alert got OK'd as a result! About a year or so ago, MS had a 'wish list' on their site. I logged it there so who knows, maybe XP is configurable? I thought it might be possible for a smart programmer to disable the 'take focus' event somehow....haven't found anyone yet though -----Original Message----- From: Nicolas Verhaeghe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 19 December 2001 4:38 To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: How to forbid new event in backgroung from popping up? This is what I have: Windows 2000 Professional. And background new events keep on popping up and that is aggravating! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Hunter, Lori Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 10:00 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: How to forbid new event in backgroung from popping up? Upgrade to W2K. The reminder or whatever just flashes in the taskbar, it doesn't "pop". -----Original Message----- From: Nicolas Verhaeghe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 10:57 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: How to forbid new event in backgroung from popping up? I like to open different applications, and, for instance, launch a web browser, or my Outlook, and go to another application, then come back when the web page or my new mail has downloaded. Now, what I hate on Windows is this: each time something new happens in the background, the concerned application pops up automatically, forcing you either to pay attention right away, or to Alt-Tab back to what you were doing. Is there anything that can be done agains that? Like a registry to modify?
