Stop programs from auto-focusing

Hi,

I have a number of programs that automatically come forward in Windows XP when something important is happening. Obviously this is a normal function of Windows, but it is kind of frustrating sometimes. Like if I am typing an email and another program has a warning or something it will automatically bring that program forward and interrupt what I am doing.

I understand that those kind of messages are probably important but I would much prefer that Windows just indicate this situation on the task bar instead of bringing the program forward.

So I have two questions:

1. Is this behavior dependent on the various applications or on Windows?

2. If it is Windows, is there any way to disable this behavior?

Thanks!
