Changing window focus with 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 window the
mouse arrow lands on whenever I move it out of my area of concentration.
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.

I think you are talking about using WinXP TweakUI. Part of the Power Toys
package. Just click on the + sign next to
General>Focus and in the rt pane check Prevent applications from
stealing focus. Hope this helps
