Thank You Dave,
You're 100% right and I liked all your suggestion. I remembered I downloaded
a program called PowerToys for Windows XP but I forgot what I've Tweaked and
I never when back to undo it as it NOT affecting the other 4 users.
I choose one of your remedy is to "turn Off by hand". Here's what I did:
1. I click Program / PowerToys for Windows XP / TweakUI for Windows XP
2. I click inside parenthesis (+) Mouse and choose X-Mouse
3. I click inside (square box) Autoraise when Activating to delete check mark (do this 1st)
4. I click inside (square box) Activation follow Mouse (X-Mouse) to delete check mark
5. I click Apply and OK.
I'll followed your good example to help others (see 1 on top "Linda") who are in need
of help. More Power To You!

It's called XMouse. There is no user interface in windows that turns it on or off. It is off unless you turn it on.
Either you mouse software added the ability to turn this On or you used a Tweaking program to turn On. Use the same
method to turn Off.
To turn Off by hand
Mouse Settings
This tip specifies whether to use a X-Mouse style interface. An X-Mouse interface (in part) means that windows the mouse
is over are active. This has been added to Explorer Options on the Explorer page.
The user preference mask is a hexadecimal representation of bit values. To set use Windows Calculator and the values
from the table below.
To use Windows Calculator take the value from UserPreferences and AND it with the value from the table below.
a.. Put the value from the table below into Calculator in Hex mode
b.. Press AND
c.. Take the value from user preferences (in this exsample 000000fd as it's byte order
reversed).
d.. If it is set it will return the same value as the table below, if it's not set it will return 0
Action Value in Hex
Turn on x-mouse 1
If On bring window to top 40
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"UserPreferencemask"=hex:fd,00,00,00
;Sets the amount of time the mouse has to be over a window to activate it.
;In milliseconds in byte order reversed (00000bb8 = 3000 ms or 3 seconds).
;Default is 0 seconds and the key does not appear by default.
"ActiveWndTrkTimeout"=hex:b8,0b,00,00
