Hi there,
i have a really annoying behavior on my Windows XP System. Any PopUp Windows (e.g. asking me for my network signin) automatically steal the focus and i end up typing half of my last line of code into the username-field of the message box.
Since i have no chance to prevent the message boxes themselve, i really would like to prevent the focus change!
I searched the web and here too, but the only valid answers use TweakUI and some registry entries. None of them work. I guess, its because they prevent focus stealing from another application and not from within the active application itself.
Anyone out there who knows a solution to this?
Thanks anyway ;)
