changing window focus w/arrow

[mickblock]

Hi. I am using a computer with WinXp installed on it and I notice (I really,
really notice) that the window focus seems to change to whatever open window
the
mouse arrow lands on whenever I move it out of my way.
This is annoying because as you know, when a window loses its "focus" it
also loses the keyboard. My question to whom it may interest is: How do I
change this setting? I tried the mouse property box already and I cannot
guess where else I might happen upon this option setting. Any help guys? :)
Thank you for your time.

Mick,

Disable the "Active Window Tracking" feature. Script available from Kellys site:

If you have TweakUI for XP installed, turn off "X Mouse." It is located in
the Mouse section of TweakUI's menus.
