Often, when I open an application in Windows XP, it takes so long to load that I start using another application that is already open, start typing, then when the application I was trying to open finally does open it then takes my focus away and I lose a large chunk of what I was typing.
Is there any way to disable the auto focus that occurs when you open an application in Windows? Please say yes and how.

Check “Prevent applications from stealing focus” to prevent applications from stealing focus from the window you are working in. Instead, their taskbar icon will flash to indicate that the application is trying to get your attention.
