Windows stealing focus

Is there any way to keep a poker application window from stealing focus? It's stealing focus from other apps and from other tables/windows within the client alike. It's bloody annoying. I've tried the TweakUI thing and editing the registry value (ForegroundLockTimeout) but the poker app seems to override any changes in the registry.

FWI, it's a Boss Media client (Svenska Spel).

Ok, so editing the ForegroundLockTimeout value doesn't always work. Some apps will keep stealing focus/overriding XP's default settings. It seems like this a pretty common problem, but I haven't found a good solution for it.

Would it be possible to edit/add registry values for the poker application instead - to cure the actual problem, not the symptom, so to speak? If so, how?

I've seen that one before and figured it only worked for Stars and UB. Well, I was wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Huge thanks, rine!
