Muzzle rude programs?

[KublaiKhan]

I remember an "Always on top" setting for application priority, but that may have been an older Windows thing.

Thing is, since my reinstallation of WIndows 7, I'm having problems with certain applications I normally run in the background pushing their way to the foreground at inopportune times, often when I'm gaming or working on something else. My various video applications are the worst offenders, trumpeting that they are done with this task or that, and switching my current application to the background. Really pisses me off.

Is there not a way to prioritize applications in Windows 7, that they cannot pull the user out of what he is doing?

So programs are taking your focus away. I had some beautiful fairies all posing so beautifully. Then Origin(gaming client) comes along and steals the focus.

Somehow Arnajin, Fosdun's bird that was about to land on his shoulder(top right), came through. So very odd. One day, I will prove the existence of fairies.
